Sun, Part Shade Zones 2-8 White flowers
We grow this fairly large, somewhat suckering shrub as a transition between the Four Seasons Garden and the Mixed Border. The gray green leaves with white margins brighten up a part shade situation. In winter after leaf-drop, the fiery red stems tell yet another story adding fuel to the yellow flowers of Hamamelis mollis nearby. The new growth is the most brilliantly colored, so cut back at the end of winter to promote new growth. May to June. bloom 8-10 ft x 5-10 ft.
More

632-001D4 Corokia cotoneaster
Sun Zones 8-10 Yellow flowers
Sometimes this looks like a shrub that has lost most of its leaves. The new stems in autumn and winter look especially bare, while deep in the core of the shrub are numerous small oblong leaves that are not readily evident at first glance. We grew this with no water on a south-facing slope. The gray to gray black stems are very attractive, especially when the tiny yellow flowers are in bloom. Late spring. bloom 8 ft. x 8 ft.
More
632-002D4 Corokia x virgata 'Sunsplash'
Sun Zones 8-10 Yellow flowers
We lost this in the garden during our record cold December 2009.

Sun Zones 4-8 Pink flowers
This hybrid between Cotinus obovatus and C. coggygria 'Velvet Cloak' was created by Peter Dummer of Hillier Nursery in the UK.

It is fast growing but can be kept in scale for a smaller garden by giving it a hard prune at the end of winter. When the large airy panicles of flowers appear, the effect is riveting.
