Unknown bush

I bought this bush, maybe five years ago at one of those blue light specials. it was untagged, but I liked the shape and texture of it. Now my curiosity has gotten the best of me, and would like to know what it is. TIA.... :D

I'm pretty sure it's not native to my area, but it seems to mind it's manners, so it's all good. ;-)

It is Deutzia scabra, very pretty shrub.

‘Codsall Pink’ is possible variety ;)

So of course, now that I know what it is I do a search to see if I am treating it right. I'm not gonna post the web sites, but one says "never let it dry out" and the other site says it is "drought tolerant" Rattles head! The only time it sees more water than Mother Nature provides is when my back lawn looks like it is gonna spontaneous com-bust.
