Clouds of tiny purple flowers are produced in Summer, giving added impact. Ideal in the mixed border or as specimen / container shrub. 4m wide x 3m
Cultivation tips: Cotinus will tolerate most soil types, in fact better autumn colour is produced on poor soils - so avoid feeding / mulching. Better leaf colour is produced when planted in full sun. Pruning is not required - trim to shape spring.
