Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit'
Cotinus coggygria ‘Golden Spirit’ is a spectacular ornamental shrub, prized for its extremely bright golden-yellow foliage and its strong visual impact in the garden. It forms a dense, rounded, well-branched shrub, ideal as a specimen plant, in a contrasting bed, or as a decorative informal hedge. Its vibrant yellow deciduous foliage brightens landscapes from spring to summer, sometimes taking on subtle chartreuse hues depending on exposure. In summer, light, airy inflorescences appear, resembling a cloud of smoke, adding an ethereal and elegant dimension to the plant. In autumn, the foliage can evolve into warmer tones. Hardy and well-suited to Quebec conditions in a protected location, ‘Golden Spirit’ combines intense color, a structural habit, and relatively simple maintenance for a remarkable landscape effect.
