Raspberry Sundae Deutzia (Deutzia x Raspberry Sundae) displays an abundance of pink-purple blooms on gracefully arching stems from spring through midsummer. This compact shrub grows to around 3–4 feet tall and wide, offering a lush mound of medium green foliage that provides year-round interest. The flowers emit a subtle scent, enticing butterflies and bees to explore your garden. Its manageable size and spectacular floral show make it an appealing choice for smaller gardens or patios. The bold color and low-maintenance qualities set it apart from typical ornamental shrubs.
In addition to its eye-catching flowers, Raspberry Sundae Deutzia resists deer browsing and adapts to a variety of soil types. Native to hybrid programs that focus on hardy flowering shrubs, it flourishes in Zones 5 through 9. Consider placing it in containers, along borders, or grouped in mass plantings for a dramatic impact. Its longevity and reliability make it an excellent candidate for both beginner and experienced gardeners. This versatile shrub finds its place in cottage-style landscapes, near water features, or in modern designs requiring a splash of color.
Raspberry Sundae Deutzia Care
Plant in full sun or partial shade, selecting a spot with moist but well-drained soil. Amending heavier ground with compost can help boost drainage and nutrient availability. Water regularly during the first growing season, letting the top inch of soil dry before re-watering to prevent oversaturation. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and generous blooming. In warmer climates, a layer of mulch can moderate soil temperature and improve moisture retention. Annual checkups for common pests or diseases help keep the plant at its best.
Lightly prune right after the primary bloom cycle to shape the shrub and remove spent flowers. Regular deadheading encourages extended flowering. Pinching or thinning older branches can rejuvenate the plant and promote new shoots. Container-grown specimens may require occasional trimming if space is limited, and additional mulch or protective measures during winter can be beneficial in cooler regions.
Raspberry Sundae Deutzia Spacing
When forming a hedge or continuous planting, set shrubs about 3 to 4 feet apart to create a dense screen. In more open designs, providing at least 4 feet of space between plants highlights their arching form and prevents crowding. For container displays, choose a pot around 16 inches wide, ensuring ample room for root growth and healthy foliage. Adjust container size as your shrub matures, maintaining an attractive and manageable arrangement.

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.
