Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit' golden smoke bush<br />
Making the rounds for a couple <strong>of</strong> years now, this mid-sized smoke bush, growing to about 8 ft, h<strong>as</strong> the richest<br />
golden-yellow leaves, that, rather than to<strong>as</strong>ting in our hot summers, burnish an ever-so-slight orange...we like<br />
that! Dense foliage produces airy pink flowers that suggest the common name <strong>of</strong> smoke bush and brilliant fall<br />
foliage colors <strong>of</strong> pink, orange, and yellow. Growing 8+ ft x 8 + ft and flowering in May-July, the shrubs like<br />
full sun to part shade, lean, well-drained soil, and some summer water - though quite drought tolerant once<br />
established. Can sulk in heavy wet clay or too much fertility. E<strong>as</strong>ily stooled to create an exuberant perennial.<br />
Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />

Foliage is Gray-blue, somewhat pendulous foliage, aromatic twigs, and red bark, are just a few <strong>of</strong> the pluses.<br />
Cold hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />

elongated tubercles and and sharp spines creating a distinctly prickly texture. Blooms in July. Full sun and<br />
lean, sandy soil that drains well is best. Drought tolerant but accepts occ<strong>as</strong>ional summer water happily. Frost<br />
