| Description | Cotinus Coggygria, Smoketree
Purple Smoke Bush is a gem in the garden thanks to it's unique blend of colours that change throughout the seasons. A large deciduous shrub or small tree, its beautiful eye-catching Spring foliage is green overlaid with purple. Summer brings deep purple foliage that then turns deep orange and bronze in a burst of glory for an Autumn show.
Purple Smokebush gets its name from the clouds of smoke-like purple and pink "flowers" it produces in early Summer. These are very beautiful themselves, and are prized along with the foliage by florists. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and it is tolerant of drought and most soils, making it a great addition to many gardens.
10" pot size. | Charlie Carp All Purpose is one of Australia's best organically based, environmentally friendly general-purpose liquid fertiliser. This award-winning general fertiliser that can be used on all plants and shrubs, is organically based and is made from European carp, a pest that is destroying Australian waterways.
The 1 litre concentrate All Purpose Fertiliser is an economical way to get the most out of a bottle. Standard dilution rate is 10ml to 1 litre of water (1 cap full = 10ml) or alternatively if using a standard watering can (9 litres) – 90ml of concentrate into 9 litres of water.
- For the best results we recommend applying to the foliage until saturated to the point of dripping – this allows the plants to take in the nutrients immediately, and the run-off drips into the soil feeding the roots.
- Charlie Carp is best applied on its own as mixing with other products may effect performance.
- When temperatures exceed 32°C do not apply to foliage as leaf or fruit damage may be possible.
Use Charlie Carp for all plants & shrubs including: Lawns, Vegetables, Flowers, Indoor Plants, Hanging Baskets, Strawberries, Palms, Orchids, Roses, Ferns, Native Shrubs, Seedlings, Herbs.
