Deutzia monbeigii, the Monbeig's deutzia (Chinese: 维西溲疏), is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae that is native to Southwest China.[1][2]
This plant, originally from the northwest of Yunnan, China, was introduced by George Forrest in 1920. He initially collected it in November 1917, and then again in July 1921.[3][4]
Growing to 1.2 m (3.9 ft), it has ovate, pointed, toothed leaves,[4] and bright pink or white, star-shaped flowers in early to midsummer.[1][3][2] In cultivation in the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[1] It should be grown in moist but well-drained soil under full sunlight or partial shade.[1] It can be propagated using softwood cuttings during summer.
