Product Description
'Nikko' Slender Deutzia
Botanical Name: Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko'
Family: Saxifragaceae Hardiness: U.S.D.A. Zones 5-8 Development: 'Nikko' was selected for its horticultural merit under the name Deutzia nakaiana from Watanabe Nursery, Gotemba City, Japan in 1976 by former USNA director John L. Creech and Chief Horticulturist Sylvester G. March. In the 1980's the nomenclature was changed to D. crenata var. nakaiana. USNA taxonomist Frederick G. Meyer and Roy Davidson, Bellevue, WA later determined this plant to be a variant of D. gracilis, the slender deutzia. The cultivar name 'Nikko' appears to have been coined by British nurseryman C.G. Hollett of Greenbank Nursery, Cumbria, England in 1976-77. Introduced in the late 1980's. Significance: Compact, low growing habit is highly desirable and a significant improvement over the leggy habit of other deutzia varieties. Considered one of the best deutzia cultivars. Description: Height and Width: 2 feet tall and spreading to 5 feet in 10 years. Habit: Deciduous, low-growing flowering shrub. Gently arching branches. Foliage: Fine-textured, light green, willow-like leaves turn a deep burgundy in autumn. Flowers: Profuse panicles of small, pure white flowers 1/8 to 1/4 inch long in late April to early May. Effective for 1-2 weeks. Culture: Tolerates many soil types, pH and light conditions. Flowers more profusely in full sun with abundant moisture. Benefits from light afternoon shade in areas with high temperatures. Propagation: Roots easily by natural layering or softwood cuttings under mist, 1000 - 3000 ppm IBA, in 4-6 weeks. Landscape Use: Excellent deciduous flowering groundcover for rock garden or perennial border. Spectacular flowering container plant. Well suited to the small garden.
