Cotinus Golden Spirit ['Ancot'] - (Golden Smoke Tree ('Ancot')) - A vigorous new selection of smoke tree with golden foliage! This deciduous shrub grows to 7 to 8 feet tall by 6 feet wide within 10 years and may reach the proportions of the typical red leaf forms (12-15 feet) with time. It has foliage that emerges a brilliant golden yellow suffused with lime-green coloring which turns to shades of coral, orange and red in the fall. Airy puffs of purplish hairs surround the flowers which begin appearing in late spring and early summer. The 'smoke puffs' are created by large, loose clusters of fading flowers - as the tiny greenish blossoms fade, stalks of sterile flowers elongate and become clothed with fuzzy purple hairs. As foliage may scorch in dry California gardens this plant is best in part day sun to bright shade in well-drained soil. It requires little to no irrigation and is hardy to around -25 degrees F (rated to Sunset zone 2 and USDA 4a). A stunning addition to any garden. This plant was discovered growing in a seedling crop in the Dutch Nursery of Willem A Sanders in 1990 and is marketed in the US through PlantHaven as 'Ancot' PP13,082, a patent that has since expired. We grew this plant from 2004 to 2007.
