The ‘Cotinus Grace’ is a colourful shrub which is great for a mixed border. The rounded, rich purple-red leaves turn to deeper shades of red in autumn. In summer, plumes of purple-pink flowers flourish all over the bush and, as they fade, they give the smoky effect that the genus is known for. Although ‘Grace’ is tolerant of some shade, planting it in a sunny spot will ensure that you get the best leaf colour.
