Cotinus coggygria 'Dusky Maiden' Summer the broadly vase-shaped crown remainsA compact cultivar offering a dramatic splash of colour with its leaves emerging deep purple, maturing to dark blue green then turning orange red in autumn. The oval leaves are also pleasantly undulated. Tiny yellow flowers are produced in summer in large, airy pink panicles, like puffs of smoke. Great in all well drained soils. RHS hardiness rating: H5
