From a pot to the ground at my old house, back to a pot and to the ground at my new house, where I planted it too high and dug it up three times, including twice this spring, to get it properly situated. These plants mist be tough. I got the best bloom from it this season that I ever have. I tucked it under an azalea that blooms ahead of it so I could give it a little cover on the south side of my yard and so that it could benefit from the treatment of the azalea. It was a gift from Raulston Arboretum. This year it gave me a 'Nikko Dawn'. It was big enough to put in near the azalea (which was just about the only thing in the yard when I got there). I never paid any attention to deutzias, but thanks to Raulston and Scott I now have four - and wouldn't want any fewer. |
