| Cotinus coggygria 'Cotsidh5' Velveteeny™ | USDA Zone: 4-8 |
Velveteeny™ Compact Smokebush offers the same silky smooth, deep burgundy foliage with large feathery pink plumes blooms as it's big brother Royal Purple, but in a petit, dwarf form.
Velveteeny™ Purple Smokebush makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges.
Velveteeny™ Purple Smokebush is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
- Container Planting
Companion Plants: Ninebark, Tickseed, Switch Grass, Black-Eyed-Susan, Potentilla
Bloom Time: Summer
Common Name: Smokebush, Dwarf Smokebush

Velveteeny™ Smokebush should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
