Cotinus

Cotinus, (otherwise known as Smoke Bush and Smoke Tree), is a genus of the Anacardiaceae family and is native to the Northern Hemisphere.

Cotinus leaves are a lovely oval shape and the flowers are clustered in large, open panicles that give a fluffy, smoke like appearance - hence the common names 'smoke bush' & 'smoke tree'.

In the wholesale flower markets, cotinus is sold as a cut foliage and is becoming increasingly popular for its use in wedding flowers these days. Stem lengths vary between 60-70cm and it is available in wraps of 10 stems.

To get the best from your wholesale cut cotinus please read the care instructions below carefully:

Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle with a sharp knife.
Strip the lower foliage from the stems.
Fill sterilised buckets with luke warm water and add flower food.
Place the cotinus in the buckets.
Leave over night to condition before using.

Never leave cut flowers in direct sun light, near a radiator, in a draft or near fruit. (The gas used to ripen fruit will harm most flowers). Keep the cotinus in a cool place and always keep out of the way of children.
