Young Lady Smoke Bush/Tree

Cotinus ‘Young Lady’ is a compact, abundant-flowering selection whose large plumes can rebloom from May through October. Its rounded green leaves turn yellow and red in autumn, and flowers form on one-year-old wood. [Plantipp’s cultivar profile](https://plantipp.eu/en/Plants/cotinus-coggygria-young-ladypbr) describes the compact habit and long flowering season. ## Seasonal Interest The green foliage provides a summer backdrop before autumn yellow and red color. Plantipp lists flowering from May to October and notes that flowers develop on one-year-old wood; retain some older stems when pruning if flowering is a priority. Its compact habit suits a smaller garden border or a large container. ## Maintenance Plant in a bright position with well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing, then adjust to local rainfall and container conditions. Prune selectively, retaining one-year-old shoots for the next bloom; avoid cutting every stem back if you want the full flowering display. Plantipp reports hardiness to −25 °C; hardiness ratings vary by region, so match planting decisions to local conditions.
