Which plant is a low shrub about 3 feet tall?

• A. Slender Deutzia
• B. Thunberg Spirea
• C. Shrub Althea
• D. Snowhill Hydrangea

Answer: (A)

Focusing on mature size helps you match a plant to a space. Slender Deutzia (Deutzia gracilis) is a compact, deciduous shrub that typically reaches about 3 feet in height with a similar spread, giving a neat, low-lying form. It also features the classic mop-brush of white flowers in late spring, which makes it a good fit for a small border or container planting while staying within that 3-foot height range. The other choices generally grow taller: Shrub Althea (hibiscus) is usually 6–12 feet tall, Snowhill Hydrangea commonly reaches about 4–6 feet, and Thunberg Spirea often ends up taller than 3 feet depending on pruning and site. So for a plant described as a low shrub about 3 feet tall, Slender Deutzia best matches the size and habit.
