Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Lady’ – A Radiant Golden Glow with Smoky Summer Plumes

Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Lady’, commonly known as the Golden Smoke Bush, is a magnificent deciduous shrub prized for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that shines brightly from spring through to autumn. This intense colour adds warmth and light to any garden setting, creating a joyful and uplifting atmosphere.

In summer, ‘Golden Lady’ produces airy clusters of soft pink to purple flowers that give a delicate, smoky haze—hence the common name “smoke bush.” These ephemeral plumes add texture and softness, contrasting beautifully with the golden leaves.

Growing to around 3–4 metres tall and wide, this shrub prefers well-drained soil and a sunny position to maintain the brilliance of its foliage. Its rounded form and easy-care nature make it a versatile choice for mixed borders, cottage gardens, or as a standout specimen.


Why Choose Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Lady’?

  • Bright Golden Foliage – Adds lasting vibrant colour all growing season.

  • Smoky Pinkish-Purple Flower Plumes – Provide summer interest and texture.

  • Compact Rounded Shape – Suitable for borders, containers, and smaller gardens.

  • Low Maintenance – Drought tolerant and easy to care for once established.


Planting & Care Guide

Position: Full sun is ideal for the best foliage colour and flower display.

Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but tolerates a range of soil types, including poor soils.

Watering: Water regularly during establishment; drought tolerant once mature.

Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth and vibrant foliage.


Design & Planting Ideas

  • Use as a colourful focal point in mixed shrub borders.

  • Pair with purple or blue flowering plants for striking contrast.

  • Ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens attracting pollinators.

  • Works well in cottage or informal gardens with other textured foliage plants
