Care Guide
Watering
Fuzzy deutzia (Deutzia scabra 'Codsall Pink') should be watered on a regular basis, but it's important to avoid over-watering and soggy soil. Water your fuzzy deutzia when the top inch or 2 of soil feels dry, and water deeply to soak the roots. This will encourage strong, healthy root growth. During hot summer days, you may need to water your fuzzy deutzia twice a day, but in most climates, once a week is often enough.
Light
Fuzzy deutzia (Deutzia scabra 'Codsall Pink') needs a significant amount of sunlight of about 6 hours each day. Avoid shade in the afternoon and early evening, as this will reduce the flowers' ability to inspire and bloom. Morning sun is best for this species, as it is not particularly heat or drought tolerant. This plant species will perform best when planted in a location that is exposed to morning sun and filtered light in the afternoon.
Temperature
Hardiness zone 5–8.
Pruning
Fuzzy deutzia should be pruned every year in late winter or early spring, just before the plant begins to leaf out. It’s best to do this pruning when temperatures remain above freezing during the day. Pruning should be done lightly – no more than 1-third of the plant should be removed. Fuzzy deutzia typically responds well to moderate thinning out of the branches at this time. Removal of any dead, diseased, or damaged branches should be done as well. Pruning should be focused on creating an open, airy shape for the plant, so as to promote good air circulation and light. After pruning, any small debris can be removed from the area around the plant.
