Product description
It is not hard to identify a deciduous shrub of Deutzias Magicien while strolling through a garden in early summers. Your guests will instantaneously spot the clusters of showy pink and white flowers (2.5cm wide) contrasting with matt-green leaves. Deutzias are native to eastern Asia, best suitable for informal hedges, flower borders and low maintenance cottage gardens.
Magicien is a hardy upright bush that features a combined breath-taking show of masses of cup shaped flowers, dense narrow foliage and elegant arching branches. Its exfoliating bark will peel to reveal an orange layer.
This medium sized shrub adapts to any soil that is well-drained, moist and humus rich.
It flourishes well in full sun or partial shade and can withstand tough climatic conditions. Avoid dense shade and prune a third of its branches after flowering season as the stems can become compact and tangled. Also remember that its flowers bloom on previous year’s wood.
Duetzias Magicien is cloaked in heavily flushed pink and white flowers with yellow anthers that carry a charm adored by butterflies, bees and moths. The flowers bear mild fragrance and are the most important feature of this deciduous bush.
Magicien will reveal a fine display of prolific flowers from spring to early summers. It is ideal for use in informal gardens as flower beds and borders. Its mid-green leaves held opposite to each other on stems and the stems themselves add a beautiful attribute to any garden.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Deutzia after blooming to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged wood for better airflow and more vibrant flowers next season.
How to Water
Water Deutzia regularly, especially during dry periods, but allow the soil to dry between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Deutzia prefers slightly moist, not soggy, conditions.
How to Plant
Plant Deutzia in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with full to partial sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture.
