Cotinus cog. Lilla

<h2>Cotinus cog. Lilla</h2> <p>Cotinus cog. Lilla is a compact, deciduous smoke bush valued for its deep purple foliage and airy, smoke-like summer panicles. Best grown in full sun to light shade in moderately fertile, well-drained soil, it forms a neat, bushy shape and offers good seasonal colour. Flower plumes appear in early to mid-summer, and plants are fully hardy, making a striking architectural accent for mixed borders and smaller gardens. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth; expect an eventual size around 11.5 m over time.</p> <strong>Position:</strong> <span>Full sun to light shade</span> <strong>Rate of Growth:</strong> <span>Moderate</span> <strong>Soil:</strong> <span>Moderately fertile, well-drained soil</span> <strong>Hardiness:</strong> <span>Fully hardy</span> <strong>Jan</strong> <strong>Feb</strong> <strong>Mar</strong> <strong>Apr</strong> <strong>May</strong> <strong>Jun</st
