Smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria) is a deciduous ornamental plant that adds dramatic visual interest to gardens with its feathery, smoke-like flower clusters in summer. Its foliage turns brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn, offering four-season aesthetic value. With its drought and cold tolerance, it is frequently preferred in low-maintenance landscape projects.

Care & Growing
Watering
Highly drought tolerant once established. Water 1-2 times per week during the first year. Avoid overwatering.
Light
Full sun provides best foliage colour; tolerates partial shade but flowering may be reduced.
Soil
Thrives in well-drained soil, even chalky or rocky ground. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged soils.
Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer application in spring is sufficient. Over-fertilizing reduces flowering.
Usage Areas
- Park and garden landscapes
