More floriferous than most other varieties, award-winner Cotinus coggygria ‘Young Lady’ (Smokebush) is a bushy deciduous shrub noted for its dwarf size, flowering at a young age, and profuse blooms. Appearing in late spring to mid-summer, large pink flower plumes cover the entire plant with fluffy, hazy ‘smoky’ puffs throughout early fall. When viewed en masse, these have a wispy ‘smoke-like’ appearance, hence the common name of Smoketree or Smokebush. The foliage of ovate, medium green leaves, 3 in. long (7 cm), remains fresh-looking throughout the growing season and turns glowing shades of yellow, red, and orange in fall. A spectacular accent shrub with a very long season of interest. Perfect for small gardens or containers.
