<i>Deutzia gracilis </i> ‘Nikko’ | Japanese Snow Flower
DESCRIPTION
Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko' is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its stunning white flowers and attractive fall foliage, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, and ground cover. Originating from Japan, 'Nikko' has a neat, mounding habit and produces a profusion of pure white, star-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer. The blooms contrast beautifully against its dark green foliage, which turns a striking reddish-purple in fall. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, 'Nikko' is low-maintenance and versatile, suitable for various garden settings including ground cover, borders, rock gardens, mass plantings, foundation plantings, or as a low hedge. It pairs well with other spring-blooming perennials and shrubs, enhancing the garden's visual appeal throughout the seasons.
