Description
The Cotinus coggygria 'Young Lady', also known as the smoke bush, is a deciduous shrub with a compact growth habit. It is highly decorative with its large, feathery, pink flower heads in the summertime and its apple green foliage that gradually transforms from golden to vibrant red throughout the seasons, offering a true fireworks display in autumn. It is a hardy plant that can easily adapt to all soil types, including dry, heavy, or limestone soils.
The Cotinus coggygria, also known as the 'Smoke Tree', is a bush that belongs to the cashew family. It is native to southern Europe and Asia and grows naturally on rocky hillsides with poor soil in dry climates. The 'Young Lady' variety is a compact, rounded bush with more flowers. At full growth, it reaches a height of 1.2 m (4 ft) to 1.5 m (5ft) and a width of 1 m (4 ft). In June, Cotinus coggygria 'Young Lady' produces small yellow-green flowers in panicles with elongated stems that form a long plume of fruit covered in hairs. The flower heads then take on a slightly smoky, pale pink colour with a feathery appearance, giving this species its smoke tree name. The deciduous, oval-shaped leaves, measuring 6-8cm (2.4 - 3.1 in) in length, appear in April and are apple green. They change colour throughout the season. In autumn, the plumes and foliage take on sumptuous colours ranging from golden yellow to orange, pink, and scarlet red.
Cotinus 'Young Lady' is an easy plant to grow and thrives in well-drained, poor, light, and limestone soils. Once it's established, it can withstand drought but cannot tolerate excessive moisture in winter, especially in heavy soils. It's a great option for brightening hedges or evergreen bush beds such as boxwoods or cherry laurels, just like deciduous euonymus. You can also grow this smoke bush in a pot on a terrace or a large rock garden alongside catmints, lamb's ears, lavenders, rosemary, and shrubby salvias.

Planting and care
If you plan to grow the Cotinus coggygria 'Young Lady' bush, it is essential to note that it prefers to be grown in well-draining, light and poor soil. It can tolerate clay soils and limestone in dry climates, but it does not do well in acidic soils that are compact and waterlogged during winter. This bush is well-suited for drought and summer heat and thrives in sunny locations but can also tolerate partial shade. However, the foliage may not be as vibrant as in full sun if grown in partial shade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
