Winecraft Gold smokebush (Cotinus coggygria 'Winecraft Gold®') brings bright, electric chartreuse foliage to your landscape from spring through fall, then shifts into rich gold, red, and burgundy tones as temperatures cool. Its soft, smoky-looking summer plumes add texture and movement, making it an easy centerpiece shrub for foundations, borders, and mixed beds.

Plant it where it can receive full sun to part sun for best color. In hotter climates, a little afternoon shade can help keep foliage looking crisp. Choose average, well-drained soil and avoid sites that stay soggy; once established it handles short dry spells better than many shrubs.

At maturity, expect a compact, sturdy habit around 48-72 inches tall with a similar spread. Give it room to branch naturally and use it as a specimen, a small-screen shrub, or a color echo with burgundy, purple, or blue-green foliage plants.

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then water during extended drought. Mulch to moderate soil moisture and protect roots from temperature swings, keeping mulch a few inches back from stems.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring only as needed to shape or remove damaged wood; heavy annual cutting can reduce flowering and the airy plume effect. Wear gloves if you are sensitive to plant sap.
