Think of’ Chardonnay Pearls’ Deutzia as a well-kept secret that surprises you in the garden. The fragrant white pearl shaped flowers open up and allow their honey scent to waft through the air. Once open the flowers accent the shrub with star-like blooms. This petite shrub welcomes spring with not only fragrant flowers but beautiful chartreuse foliage as well.
‘Chardonnay Pearls’ has season long interest with the beautiful flowers and bright foliage. It is deer resistant for those that live in deer country, attracts those early pollinators because most pollinators can “smell” a flower before it sees the flower and that honey scent will be a sure attractant.
Chardonnay Pearls® Deutzia Care
When planting ‘Chardonnay Pearls’, it prefers part to full sun, a moist but well-draining soil. If planting in a container it should have a drainage hole. Add a slow release fertilizer such as Espoma Plant Tone when planting and again the autumn. No need to fertilize otherwise. It is advisable to lightly mulch after planting but don’t put the mulch up to the stem. An inch or two of mulch is perfect and will help keep the soil moist.
This is an outstanding plant to use in a container or in the landscape. It is the perfect plant for use in a perennial garden where it won’t overtake the other plants and will draw beneficial insects as well. While the flowers fade in the summer, the foliage color makes up for that loss.
Chardonnay Pearls® Deutzia Spacing
Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart, center on center. This allows enough air circulation and room for the roots to grow. It also ensures the plants get enough sunlight and aren’t covered up with other plants too close nearby.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
