Smokebush In early spring, the irregularly shaped, billowy Smokebush is covered in roundish, 3" leaves. By late spring to early summer, large, loose clusters of tiny, pink, purple, or gray blooms appear at the branch ends. As the blooms fade, they send out hairy filaments to produce an enchanting cloud of purple "smoke", In fall, the leaves turn rusty gold, orange, or brilliant red. Since the Smokebush does not need rich soil or regular water, you can use them where some of your more demanding plants might fail.

Common Name: 'Smokebush' Botanical Name : Cotinus coggygria 'Young Lady' This green leaved Smokebush will really grab your attention due to its extremely profuse bloom at a very young age. Most Smokebushes take forever to bloom, but 'Young Lady' will cover itself with a cloud of big, grayish-pink plumes even as an extremely small plant.

Gold to orange fall color is very attractive on this large, round growing specimen that is a cinch to grow. Matures 10-15' tall and 10-15 wide. Hardy to Zone 5. |
