Deutzia scabra is a species of flowering plant in the hydrangea family (Hydrangeaceae) native to Japan and introduced to mainland east Asia, Europe, and North America.[1][2] In its native Japan, it is found from the Kantō region, westward to the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku.[3] Its natural habitat is along forest edges and rocky openings.[4] It is tolerant of disturbance and can be found growing out of stone walls, along roadsides, and in other waste areas.[5][1]
Deutzia scabra is a deciduous shrub growing 1-2 meters in height.[4] One way it differs from other Deutzia of Japan, is by its somewhat dimorphic leaves: those subtending the inflorescence being sessile and slightly clasping, while leaves lower down the stem are petiolate.[3] It produces panicles of white flowers, blooming from May to July.[4]
The cultivar 'Candidissima' bears double flowers, and is taller than the species at up to 4 m (13 ft). It is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[6] The pink flowered double 'Codsall Pink' has also received the award.[7]
