Smoke Bush Young Lady

A dwarf form of smoke bush, Cotinus coggygria Young Lady is a medium-sized, very slow-growing, deciduous shrub with a rounded, bushy habit. The rounded leaves are deep green, turning lovely shades of purple, red and orange in autumn. The flowers are borne in huge, pink, smoke-like plumes in summer. Because it’s slow-growing and remains small, it is particularly suitable for small gardens. An easy plant, requiring little pruning, smoke bush Young Lady holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
