Description
A compact Cotinus, the Winecraft Black Smokebush is a perfect for smaller garden spaces where it’s larger growing cousins just won’t fit. Providing three-season color in the landscape, the rounded leaves on this handsome 6 feet by 6 feet rounded shrub emerge a rich purple in spring and gradually turn to a darker, almost-black color by summer, then turning to a brilliant orange in fall. What’s more, as with its cousins, wispy red flowers emerge in summer that turn to a hazy-violet smoke color, hence the name. A shrub that is sure to add unique color and texture to your landscape!
Landscape & Garden Uses
A dwarf that grows only 4 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide, the Winecraft Black Smokebush is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and home foundation plantings or in groupings in larger spaces. A fine addition to black or purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 8 feet for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Winecraft Black Smokebush is very easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to mostly sun for best foliage color and flowering. Good drought tolerance when established. Constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. Exceptionally low maintenance with little to no pruning necessary.
Plant Long & Prosper!
