Strange how these shrubs are so often overlooked by people.

They're lovely, Dave! I have a few Deutzias in my garden and they make
very good shrubs ... if you know how to prune them, to echo Bob's
response. D. 'Pride of Rochester' is looking stunning at the moment. I
have an early flowering one, whose name I need to check, and a later
flowering one (July/August), which is D. setchuenensis corymbiflora.
They all have different growth habits and, yes, all are deciduous, but I
don't regard this as a problem. I really enjoy seeing the new season's
leaf buds break. Also, they're good companions for spring bulbs because
they let light through to ground flora.
