About Cotinus coggygria Ruby Glow 3 Litre Pot
Cotinus coggygria ‘Ruby Glow’
Compact smoke bush with deep purple foliage and summer ‘smoke’ plumes
Cotinus ‘Ruby Glow’ is a compact deciduous shrub with rich, wine-red to purple foliage that turns fiery red and orange in autumn. In summer, it produces soft, airy panicles of pinkish flower plumes, giving the appearance of a smoky haze—hence the name "smoke bush".
Smaller and more manageable than traditional varieties, ‘Ruby Glow’ is ideal for borders, mixed shrub planting, or as a striking stand-alone feature. It thrives in sunny positions and requires little maintenance.
