Cotinus

Cotinus or Smoke Trees are easy to grow large shrubs. Vibrant foliage from spring to autumn turns shades of red and orange. The clouds of tiny pinkish flowers in summer earn the name smoke tree or bush.

They can grow quite large, but size can be maintained to shrub proportions with occasional hard pruning, that also encourages large succulent leaves. Cotinus succeed best in any well-drained preferably not too rich soil, in full sun.
