Smokebush 'Winecraft Black' (Cotinus coggygria 'Winecraft Black') gives you dramatic color from spring through fall. You will see rounded leaves emerge with rich purple tones, deepen to a near-black look in summer, then finish the season with red-orange fall color. In early summer, airy panicles create the classic smokebush haze and add soft pink-red interest above the foliage.

Plan for a mature size around 96-120 inches tall with a 72-96 inch spread, making it a strong accent for borders, foundation beds, or as a specimen shrub. Place it where you can enjoy the shifting leaf color and the smoky plumes from a patio or window, and give it enough room so its naturally rounded habit can develop without constant pruning.

Grow it in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then ease back once the plant is rooted. Prune in late winter or early spring if you want to shape it or encourage fresh new growth. This cultivar is valued for bold foliage color and multi-season presence in the landscape.
