Winecraft Black® Smokebush
Cotinus coggygria 'NCCO1' USPP 30,216
Winecraft Black® Smokebush delivers dynamic seasonal color progression, emerging with deep red foliage that transitions to vibrant orange before autumn leaf drop. Summer flowering adds ephemeral interest while the cultivar's compact architecture—more restrained than typical smokebush varieties—suits foundation plantings and sunny property line hedging. This deciduous shrub combines refined proportions with sustained chromatic drama across three seasons, offering gardeners extended ornamental value without excessive spatial requirements. Its manageable size and predictable color sequence make it an exceptional choice for those seeking architectural structure combined with reliable seasonal interest in sun-exposed landscape positions.
