This plant is growing at a home site I recently purchased in St Francisville, Louisiana. The plant is growing like a clump/bush about seven ft tall. The trunks of the plant are peeling like the bark of a Crepe Myrtle. I hope the picture gives enough definition of the flowers.
Thanks in advance
Hi Beryl,
this is a a popular non-native flowering shrub named Deutzia crenata ‘Plena’. There is no other common name other than deutzia. It is a relative of the mock orange, Philadelphus.
Sincerely,
