Golden Spirit Smoke Tree

The Golden Spirit Smoketree is a colorful large shrub with bright yellow to lime green leaves all spring and summer. In fall it turns brilliant shades of burgundy, red and amber, and in summer it is topped with big, fluffy clusters of smoky pink hairs around the flower heads, giving the tree its common name. It grows between 8 and 15 feet tall, depending on the growing conditions and pruning. Use it for a spectacular screen, to fill corners of your yard, as a lawn specimen, or at the back of large shrub beds.

• Gorgeous bright yellow to lime-green leaves in spring and summer
• Powerful fall colors of burgundy, red, and amber-yellow
• Crowned in smoky pink clusters all summer long
• Easily grown, even in poor soil
• Great for colorful informal screening and behind beds

Tough and able to grow in all kinds of soil, the Golden Spirit Smoketree should be planted in full sun for the best leaf colors. It is drought tolerant under all but the harshest conditions, once established, and it is normally free of pests and diseases. It can be trimmed at any time to keep it smaller, if you wish, including cutting older plants right to the ground if needed.
