(Smokebush) Add a bright splash of foliage color to your landscape with Cotinus WINECRAFT GOLD®. An improvement of ‘Golden Spirit’, WINECRAFT GOLD® is more vigorous and has better burn resistance. In the spring, new foliage emerges orangey red in color. WINECRAFT GOLD® stands 4-6 feet tall and spreads up to 4 feet wide, forming an upright mounding habit. Hardy in zones 5-8, Smokebush likes to be planted in full sun to part sun locations. In early summer, green flowers emerge, and as they age turn to an airy pink puff of “smoke”. This deer resistant shrub is very adaptable to most soil types, even in clay. WINECRAFT GOLD® Smokebush blooms off old growth, so trimming is not recommended unless you need to shape your plant. WINECRAFT GOLD® Cotinus is a PROVEN WINNERS® COLORCHOICE® Flowering Shrub.
