Deutzia x hybrida Magicien Lemoine

A lovely Deutzia hybrid, award-winning Deutzia x hybrida 'Magicien' is a dense, upright, bushy shrub with elegantly spreading, arching stems and particularly attractive sprays of star-shaped pink and white flowers, 1 in. wide (2.5cm) across. Abundant, they appear in late spring to early summer and cover the shrub for about two weeks. The foliage of lanceolate, bright green leaves turns somewhat burgundy in fall. 'Magicien' results from the cross of Deutzia longifolia and Deutzia discolor.

• Multi-stemmed and rapid-growing, this deciduous shrub typically grows 4-6 ft. tall and wide (120-180 cm).
