Cotinus Coggygria care
Plant the Cotinus Coggygria in a sunny, partially shaded area of the garden with moist, well drained soil where it will thrive. Known to be easy to grow and great for both beginner and expert gardeners alike. Generally disease and pest free and requiring only occasional pruning also makes for a good low maintenance plant. Naturally the plant will grow into a good, strong framework however in spring may occasionally require a very light prune to simply remove the branches growing out of the shape and any which have become dead or damaged which will encourage a healthy growth.
