I've always wanted a purple or green Cotinus (Smoke bush) but the plants are too epensive methinks? I noticed they had Cotinus seeds but even if they germinate I reckon it would be at least five yeas before I got a sizeable plant? At my age, I am not sure I would still be here in five years to enjoy the plant, so along with other tree & shrub seeds, I gave them a miss! Rolleyes Smile

Find a Cotinus somewhere and take cuttings! That would be quicker.

I tried when a neighbour was pruning a purple Cotinus about a month ago. I had various cuttings taken below a node and heel cuttings but none of them rooted! Angry
