Winecraft® Gold Smokebush  (Cotinus)

Winecraft® Gold from Proven Winners® has round, waxy leaves that emerge a sunny orange, soon take on a golden hue, then mature to a cheerful chartreuse for the season. In early summer, cloud-like green flower clusters cover the plant, and these turn into the pink "smoke" plumes that earn the plant its name. This deer resistant shrub naturally grows with a dense, oval shape that's ideal for adding a spot of bright color to partially shaded or sunny areas.

It reaches 4-6 feet tall and wide at maturity in zones 5-8. It requires partial to full sun, 4+ hours daily. It's best to avoid pruning smokebush regularly, though you may selectively remove branches to attain the shape you desire.

1 gallon shrubs are 6-24 inches tall at shipment and quart shrubs are 5-8 inches tall at shipment depending on the season and plant.
