Cotinus coggygria 'Smokey Joe'

Cotinus coggygria 'Smokey Joe' is a compact variety that delivers dramatic seasonal colour in a small footprint. Late spring and early summer sees airy plumes of pink-purple flowers that rise in a soft haze above the foliage, creating an intriguing, mist-like effect that catches the eye in mixed borders, shrub beds or patio containers. Deep green leaves throughout the growing season provide a lush backdrop before shifting to rich autumn shades of yellow, orange and red, adding vibrant colour into the cooler months. Hardy and adaptable, this pest-free, low maintenance shrub brings long-lasting garden appeal. Ultimate height and spread: 2m (6.5ft).
