Water Deutzia compacta 'Lavender Time' regularly during dry spells, especially when newly planted. Apply a balanced, general-purpose fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Prune the shrub immediately after flowering has finished; remove old, woody stems from the base and cut back flowered shoots to a strong bud to encourage new growth and maintain a compact, attractive shape. Mulching around the base in spring helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all of its leaves in the autumn and get fresh new foliage each spring.
