Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Lady’ – Brilliant Golden Foliage with Smoky Summer Plumes

Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Lady’, also known as the Golden Smoke Bush, is a striking deciduous shrub that adds vibrant colour and texture to your garden. In spring and early summer, it bursts with bright golden-yellow foliage, which becomes even more intense when exposed to full sun. In mid-summer, soft, airy pink plumes emerge, creating a smoky, cloud-like effect. Come autumn, the foliage turns to warm hues of orange and red, offering seasonal interest through all stages of growth. This variety is perfect for bringing a touch of vibrancy to borders, mixed planting schemes, or as a focal point in any garden.
