SEVEN SON FLOWER Heptacodium miconioides<br />

2008 Plant Select! As I get to know this plant, I become<br />

more impressed. The overall look is that of a Crape Myrtle<br />

with exfoliating bark. It blooms in late August/early<br />

September when most trees and shrubs don’t. The creamy<br />

white flowers are incredibly fragrant with a spicy citrus<br />

scent. The flowers change to large clusters of pink/red five<br />

star floret-like bracts. Very impressive without question!<br />

Max. Elev: 7,000 ft. SSF 2' #5<br />

SMOKE TREE, GOLDEN Cotinus coggygria ‘Ancot’<br />

This shrub is just like good old purple smoke tree but is<br />

bright gold instead. You know how some plants that are<br />

yellow look chlorotic even though they’re not? This one<br />

doesn’t, it is a vibrant yellow. In fall, the leaves change to a<br />

colorful rainbow of coral, orange and red. The plumes are a<br />

smokey pink from late spring to early summer.<br />

Max. Elev: 8,000 ft. GST 15-24'' (CA)#2<br />

Mature Ht: 15' & Spd: 8' 18-24'' (CA)#5<br />

SMOKE TREE, PURPLE Cotinus coggygria<br />

Rich, dark purple leaves last throughout the season on this<br />

large, multi-stemmed shrub. Small, pinkish white flowers on<br />

airy clusters give it a ‘smoky’ effect, but it still complies with<br />

EPA emmision standards.<br />
