Young Lady is an exciting new smokebush from the Netherlands. Developed by plantsman Henny Kolster this unusual shrub is unlike any other smokebush in that it blooms as a young plant and it blooms like crazy. In a container it looks like a poodle in a pot with its frothy blooms covering every inch of the plant.

Nearly every shoot forms a flower and it throw flowers from early summer until frost.

In the autumn the leaf color turns a superb blend of yellow, orange and red.
