A magical looking plant! Cotinus 'Candy Floss' produces billowing plumes of 'candy floss pink' - a dynamic impression as the stems sway in the breeze. You will have a sense of a pink, hazy mist floating above and almost covering the foliage when in full bloom, hence the common name 'Smoke Bush'. Cotinus 'Candy Floss' is aptly named as there is a magical enchantment surrounding this plant. The foliage adds to the wonder, the leaves are smooth and purple and blushed red when young, maturing to green for the summer followed by a magnificent show of red, orange, and yellow in the autumn. Unsurprisingly, both the flowers and foliage are prized by florists. Cotinus 'Candy Floss' looks spectacular whatever your planting style, reaching a mature height and spread of up to 2.5-4m. A deciduous perennial with an RHS rating of H5, so hardy down to -15 C requiring no winter protection across most of the UK; one to relish and enjoy for many years.
