Cotinus Golden Spirit, also known as the ‘Smoke Tree’ and holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit,  is a beautiful, deciduous shrub that is known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage and smoky white flowers that are produced in the Summer.   The foliage of the Golden Spirit is incredibly vibrant and is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it.

This shrub is perfect for planting in a sunny location and is hardy enough to withstand a wide range of temperatures. It is a great choice for gardeners looking for an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plant that will add a touch of elegance to their landscape or is perfect for use as a focal point, accent or hedging plant.

How to care for your Cotinus Golden Spirit

  1. Planting: Prefers well-drained soil and full sun. When planting, make sure to dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball, and backfill the hole with a mixture of soil and compost.
  2. Watering: Is drought-tolerant and does not require frequent watering. However, when the plant is first planted, it will need to be watered regularly until the roots are established. Once established, it can tolerate periods of drought.
  3. Fertilising: This plant is not particularly heavy feeder, but you can fertilise it in Spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser.
  4. Pruning: It is a deciduous shrub, which means it will lose its leaves in the fall. You can prune the shrub in late winter or early spring to shape it or to remove any dead or damaged branches.
  5. Winter Care: It is hardy and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. However, in areas with harsh winters, it is a good idea to provide a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from freezing.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your Cotinus Golden Spirit will thrive in your garden for many years to come.
