Description

Doing the Dew is so last century. 

Why not do the Deutzia instead?

Deutzia has beautiful spring flowers and nice fall color. Mountain Dew has artificial color.

Deutzia is deer-resistant. Mountain Dew attracts yellow jackets.

Deutzia is adaptable to most soils, including clay ones. Mountain Dew is best adapted to teenagers who have no concept of acid reflux.

It's spring, and while you may need a jolt of something caffeinated maybe go with something a little less likely to rot your teeth than Mountain Dew. Of course, if you had some beautiful deutzia to sell this spring maybe the heartburn would go away.
