General Care
Soil
Cotinus is not finicky about soil and can grow in any well-drained site. Tolerates dry conditions well.Pruning
Though cotinus tolerates pruning well, it typically needs little regular pruning. Cut selectively as needed. Cutting back severely can result in the growth of much, much taller stems. Note that Cotinus blooms on old wood, so spring pruning will remove flowers for the year. Avoid cutting into thick stems unless removing them entirely.Uses
Specimen plant; mixed borders; foundation planting; hedge.Growing Tips
May be grown as a shrub or small tree. Though its flowers contribute significant interest, many gardeners grow it solely as a foliage plant by coppicing it each spring.Features: Alkaline soil, Clay soil, Deer resistant, Foliage interest, Fall interest
