Deutzia aff. schneideriana W/O-0039
25 seeds per packet.
This is a very rare opportunity to purchase fresh seeds! The seeds we offer have been harvested from plants grown by us from seed collected by August Wu in Tianzhushan, Anqing, Anhui, China.
The closest we have been able to identify this unknown species as is Deutzia schneideriana. With more research, we may well prove it to be that species but erring on the side of caution we are calling it an affinity to D. schneideriana. An easily grown, medium to large-sized, upright, deciduous shrub in the Hydrangeaceace family with lanceolate, apple-green, serrated foliage and panicles of graceful, narrow, pure white, star-shaped flowers with golden yellow anthers on arching branches, which bees and other pollinators adore. When mature the plant produces attractive, brown peeling bark on its stems. Flowering May to June. Height 1 to 2 metres. Humus rich, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Can be sown from autumn to June. Cover seed thinly, press in gently and keep top of compost from drying out. Keep pot cool over winter. Keep warm at 15 to 20°C in spring until germination, then move to somewhere cooler.
Carefully prick out seedlings when they have developed true leaves and are large enough to transplant to individual pots to grow on.
