COTINUS OBOVATUS

$115.99

This large grower might take up a little space in the landscape but it will reward you with great looking foliage and unique bloom while providing outstanding shelter and nesting for native songbirds. Aggressive growing, this plant’s branches are covered with roundish, cool gray-green foiliage. Branch tips top off with 6 to 10″ clusters of 100’s flower buds that bloom in June. While these flowers are fairly insignificant, each flower gives rise to a long, purplish-pink stalk that, when grouped with the 100’s of others in the same cluster, gives this plant its famous smoky ‘bloom’ for which it was named. Easy to grow, this plant can be a summer showstopper in the landscape, sports tremendous orange to reddish fall foliage color and is a perfect plant for keeping near a bird feeder to house those hungry native birds.

Understanding Plant Pot Sizes

When you’re choosing plants, you’ll often see sizes listed as #1, #2, or #3 containers. These numbers refer to the volume of the pot, not the age of the plant.

#1 Pot – Holds about 1 gallon of soil. These are small starter plants, great for tight spaces or filling in around larger features.

#2 Pot – Holds about 2 gallons of soil. A medium size that balances affordability with faster establishment in the landscape.

#3 Pot – Holds about 3 gallons of soil. These larger plants give more immediate impact and tend to establish quickly.

Bigger pots generally mean more mature root systems, but the right choice depends on your project goals, timeline, and budget.
