Also known by the botanical name Cotinus coggygria or the more common name Smoke Bush, Cotinus Lilla is a dwarf shrub growing to around 120cm. It boasts a compact, rounded growing habit yet packs a mighty punch in the garden. Young foliage emerges purple and is covered with airy plumes of tiny pink flowers in summer, producing a smoke-like effect. The leaves change colour in autumn, turning dramatic shades of red, orange, and yellow. This hardy shrub s easy to grow and demands very little maintenance to look its best. Water thoroughly after planting and once a week until well-established, after which Cotinus only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells. Lightly prune after flowering to tidy the shrub and maintain its neat shape. Smoke Bushes are versatile garden plants, suitable for growing in beds, borders, patio pots, and containers.
