description_en: Genus of about 60 species of mainly deciduous shrubs, found in scrub and woodland from the Himalayas to E. Asia. Many have peeling bark, especially when mature. Leaves, usually to 7cm (3in) long, are opposite, ovate to lance-shaped, and mainly toothed. Numerous 5-petalled, cup- to star-shaped, often fragrant, white to pink flowers are borne in axillary or terminal racemes, panicles, cymes, or corymbs from mid-spring to midsummer. All are suitable for a shrub border; the larger ones are also good specimen plants. In colder regions, grow frost-hardy deutzias against a wall or among trees and other shrubs.
