The new leaves of Golden Spirit smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria 'Ancot', USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9) are often tinged with red, but it's in fall that the leaves really begin to blush, in shades of red, orange, and coral. For the rest of the season, the golden-yellow foliage is a beacon of brightness in a garden planting.
