Winecraft Black® Smokebush (Cotinus)

Winecraft Black smokebush has rich purple foliage in spring, but in summer's heat, they turn a near-black before bursting into reds and oranges in the fall. In early summer, its smoke appears as large, soft panicles of bloom. It resists deer and rabbits.

It reaches 4-6 feet tall and wide at maturity in zones 4-8. It requires full sun, 6+ hours daily. It's best to avoid pruning smokebush regularly, though you may selectively remove branches to attain the shape you desire. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in Spring.
