Winecraft Gold has round, waxy leaves that emerge a sunny orange, soon take on a golden hue, then mature to a cheerful chartreuse for the season. In early summer, cloud-like green flower clusters cover the plant, and these turn into the pink "smoke" plumes that earn the plant its name. This deer-resistant shrub naturally grows with a dense, oval shape that's ideal for adding a spot of bright color to partially shaded or sunny areas.
