Cotinus coggygria

Having liberated (without smashing) my large pot-bellied pot - as described last week - I have a question.  How do Cotinus coggygria fare in containers?  I have been looking at Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit - Ancot' today, and it would look lovely near the front door, especially as the blue sheen on the pot would go so well with the lovely golden foliage of the plant.  Having had the purple variety as a tree in my last garden, I know how easy they are to look after and I know that they accept hard pruning to keep them small and shapely (I was going to say 'just like me' but I would just be lying to you...).  Any ideas, pretty please?

    Many, many posts since I asked this question only yesterday and all of them with at least one answere.  Is anyone there able to answer my question, please?!!image

    I've never tried it but in theory anything will grow if the pot is big enough and the compost, feeding and watering are right.

    Thank you so much.  Edd, that's just what I needed.  I thought I probably could, but it's always best to check.

    sorry if I 'whined' about being unnoticed!!
