Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko'
dwarf Nikko deutzia
Notes:
Missouri BG and NCSU assert fragrance even though Sunset, Stoecklein, and UConn do not mention it, so take that with a grain of salt.
Optimal exposure may be a tradeoff between foliage aesthetics and flowering (similar to Chionanthus).
Takes rejuvenation pruning if needed.
More compact than the species.
