Mccaine, I have what I think is deutzia Codsall Pink, but I don't remember for sure.
Mine is in a wooded setting so mostly shade, but still blooms pretty nicely.
I'm sure not as much as in more sun.
But I think the shady situation blanched the pink out of the flowers.
You can see a little pink on the outside of the buds only.
It grows rambunctiously, as you can see from the picture.
I have hacked at it from the front to keep it from swallowing up the path.
But maybe I'll prune it more aggressively this year.
It's getting out of control!
I also have deutzias Nikko and Magicien, both of which bloom fine in shady situations.
