Comments: Slender Deutzia grows in sun, partial shade or    
shade, but shade reduces blooming.  It is a slow-growing,   
mound-shaped shrub that stays low naturally and             
transplants well.  The white flowers are produced in mid-   
spring after the leaves develop.  The plant does not        
tolerate much pruning and blooms poorly if overly pruned.
