Cotinus Winecraft Black® #3

Winecraft Black® is shorter and more compact than most other varieties, so it fits into more landscapes. The round leaves emerge rich purple, but as summer's heat comes on, they turn a deep near-black tone and finally light up in an array of reds and oranges in the fall. Large, soft panicles of bloom appear in early summer, giving the plant its smokebush name. Little to no pruning is required. The plant grows 4-6' tall and wide and is hardy to Zone 4.
