Cotinus coggygria 'Cotsidh5'
Velveteeny™ smokebush
Deep burgundy leaves provide rich color on a smaller version of the familiar purple smokebush. Airy flower plumes add a smoky effect above the foliage. Its compact stature makes it easier to use in mixed borders where larger smokebushes would dominate.
