Growing approximately 1-2 feet tall and 2-5 feet wide, it forms a dense mound of fine-textured green foliage that becomes covered in small, star-shaped white flowers in late spring. Its low profile makes it an excellent choice for the front of landscape beds or anywhere a flowering groundcover-like shrub is desired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNikko Deutzia works beautifully along walkways, on slopes, in foundation plantings, mixed borders, or planted in groups as a low-maintenance groundcover.
