2017 landscape plant of the year: Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia
Over ten years in the making, Yuki Cherry Blossom is the first-ever ‘Nikko’-type deutzia with pink flowers. This dwarf plant is loved for its shower of elegant pink flowers that creates a vibrant carpet of color. With its neat, mounded habit and burgundy-purple fall color, it makes an excellent groundcover, especially on a sunny slope. This tough, adaptable plant grows just 1-2ft tall and wide and is deer resistant.
In September 2016, Yuki Cherry Blossom was awarded a Silver Medal from The Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society at the 34th Annual Plantarium show held in the Netherlands. This deutzia is the breeding of Dr. Tom Ranney, a professor and researcher at North Carolina State University.
