Thanks! There are some more varieties now... I bought two last autumn... Young Lady and Lilla...check them out, very nice! I still love purple spirit though, and I grew this one in my old garden. I also have 'golden Spirit' and 'Grace ' in my present garden, but only golden spirit is a decent size yet....I need to be more patient! :)

Patience is a virtue so they say...But i know what it can feel like waiting for something to grow...I do like Shrubs
that when grown do not need much pruning...Just like this lovely Shrub..:)))

I agree Freesiaperson. Cotinus are very late in my garden. My Golden one is only just starting to leaf, and the others are way behind. But they are definitely worth waiting for!
