Smokebush Grace

A hybrid between the American and European smoke bush, Cotinus Grace grows into an attractive shrubby small tree. It provides a beautiful contrast of colour in any garden with its soft purple/pink/grey leaves, and in late Spring to early Summer it has amazing, delicate yellow flowers on pink stems which from a distance these flowers give an incomparable distinct smoke like texture – hence the common name. In Autumn, the foliage turns every shade of red, orange and purple you could imagine. Can be pruned to size to fit into a smaller garden. Best foliage colour in full sun.
