Winecraft Black Smokebush - Cotinus coggygria Winecraft Black® (Purple)

The Cotinus coggygria Winecraft Black® is a premium ornamental shrub distinguished by its deep purple-black foliage that commands attention in any landscape design. This cultivar produces airy, smoke-like panicles in summer that contrast beautifully against its dark canopy, creating dramatic visual depth. Growing 8-10 feet tall, it demands full sun exposure to achieve optimal color saturation and performs best in well-draining soil with moderate moisture. A versatile specimen plant, it transitions to rich burgundy tones in autumn before dropping its leaves. This hardy, low-maintenance variety serves as an exceptional architectural element for contemporary gardens and mixed plantings.
