    A beaming beacon for the landscape.

    Bold, bright, and beautiful: that's Winecraft Gold smokebush. Round, waxy leaves emerge a sunny orange, soon take on a golden hue, then mature to a cheerful chartreuse for the season. In early summer, cloud-like green flower clusters cover the plant, and these turn into the pink "smoke" plumes that earn the plant its name. Naturally grows with a dense, oval shape that's ideal for adding a spot of bright color to partially shaded or sunny areas. 

    Top reasons to grow Winecraft Gold smokebush:

    - bright golden foliage

    - memorable smoke-like seedheads in summer

    - smaller and more dense than conventional smokebush

    Maintenance Notes:
