Product description
Cotinus Grace is a deciduous shrub that brings purple foliage throughout the Spring and Summer months, before pink fruit is produced from the plant in Autumn. Also in Autumn, the foliage will form more of a red hue to it, making sure there is colour present for a majority of the year. Cotinus should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Watering these shrubs should see you water it regularly and, more importantly, well so that it can better tolerate periods of drought once it has established itself in the garden.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms regularly to prolong the flowering period.
How to Water
Water regularly for the first 2 years. Cotinus plants are drought tolerant once established and only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Cotinus tolerates partial shade but flourishes best when exposed to full sun. It prefers moist but well-draining soil and benefits from adding organic matter into the soil before planting. Dig a hole around twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level then backfill with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
