Cotinus ‘Grace’ produces purple leaves during the spring and summer that turn a vibrant orange and red in the fall. In the summer, Cotinus ‘Grace’ also bears large, conical, purple-pink flower clusters. It is a strong, upright-grower with a rounded head, making it an excellent choice as a street tree. Cotinus ‘Grace’ is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Cotinus coggygria ‘Velvet Cloak’ and a male Cotinus obovatus. Cotinus ‘Grace’ was developed in 1978 by Peter Dummer at Hillier Nurseries in Ampfield, United Kingdom. Peter named Cotinus ‘Grace’ after his wife.
