Proven Winners® Winecraft Black® Smokebush 
Cotinus coggygria
 
Compact dark-leaf cotinus!
The first-ever Proven Winners® smokebush would have to be special - and indeed, it is. Winecraft Black® cotinus starts the season with rich purple foliage, becoming deeper in color until it's nearly black; fall then turns it brilliant orange. Early summer brings wispy red flowers that become the beautiful, hazy-violet "smoke" that give this plant its name. Rounded habit offers a more compact presentation than conventional smokebush.
