Cotinus Grace is an excellent plant that produces pink, purple flowers during mid summer. It is these that give the plant the look of hazy smoke which gives it its most common name of the 'Smoke Gun'. The leaves are large with a purple tint in the Autumn, they look particularly spectacular when they begin turning a beautiful red colour.
