Description

A popular and attractive, dwarf smoke bush, Cotinus coggygria 'Young lady' flowers exceptionally freely, with huge plumes of smoky-pink flowers in mid to late summer. The leaves are dark green and the flowers stand out exceptionally well against them, looking very much like mauve puffs of smoke.

In a good, crisp autumn the leaves turn beautiful shades of scarlet and orange before falling, creating an eye-catching display. Cotinus coggygria 'Young lady' is a very slow growing shrub and as such is ideal for small gardens.
