Featuring a dense, well-sized upright shrub with a densely multi-branched form! The brilliant, gold leaf color lasts all season before it turns brilliant shades of coral and orange into the fall! But it is in the summer that the real show begins!
Smokey white blossoms appear in June to July when this deciduous shrub blooms. It displays long, plume-like panicles that stand out in the landscape! Just like smoke! You'll love the pollinators that drop by to visit and even love snipping a few stems for airy bouquet filler!
Planting and Application:
This golden Smokebush will become one of your garden favorites because it has so many uses! Perfect focal points that lend brilliant pops of color to the landscape, a tall hedge would be absolutely eye-catching and you’ll enliven a tired mixed-shrub border or evergreen hedge!
Growing 8-10 feet in height and 6-8 feet wide, Golden Spirit can be pruned to a small tree or left to grow as big shrub. Either way, you will enjoy a fantastic eye-catching specimen and dramatic focal point that will attract attention from near and far!
Highly your yard and set your home apart as a landscape accent, screening hedge, and even unique street tree! Create a shining front yard focal point or unique privacy screen around the pool deck or seating areas!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Golden Spirit will tolerate dry soil and prefers anything well-drained, Smokebush requires full sun to have this glorious color! These can be late to leaf out in spring, but once they do, they will become a knock-out specimen shrub! Tough and tolerant shrubs, they tolerate drought and dry soil once it is established. With minimal pruning, it will naturally form a large shrub or small tree over time. Provide regular moisture for young plants until they get established. Apply a 3-inch layer of wood chip mulch around the plant to keep the root system cool and moist.
These deciduous shrubs prefer good air circulation is another important consideration. Please don't plant too close to buildings, fences, or walls. Allow this shrub to reach its full glory and prune these shrubs in the early spring only.
- Full Sun For The Most Color
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Prune In Early Spring
- Deer Resistant & Hardy USDA 5 to 9
