Cotinus coggygria Golden Spirit - Smoke Bush

Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit', known as the Golden Smoke Bush, is a striking deciduous shrub famous for its lime to golden-yellow foliage that shines from spring through autumn. In summer, the leaves are illuminated by airy panicles of soft, smoke-like flowers, adding texture and a dreamy quality to borders. As autumn arrives, the foliage turns brilliant shades of orange, red, and coral, making this shrub a true multi-season highlight.

With its upright, bushy habit, 'Golden Spirit' is perfect as a focal point in borders, in modern gardens, or as a contrasting feature among darker-leaved plants like Cotinus 'Royal Purple' or evergreens. It thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and prefers a sunny or lightly shaded position, where its foliage develops the brightest colour. Minimal pruning is needed, simply remove any dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape.

Supplied as 40-60cm tall bushy plants in approx 2-3 Litre containers.
