Q.Why Has Our Cotinus Got Small Leaves When Last Year They Were Large?
I have fed it with Miracle Grow.

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.
If the soil was not tested prior to planting, and it was fed on top of sufficient nutrients, then it could be due to high nutrient content of the soil. I would test and make sure.

Once you get some results, then you can begin to correct the issue. Unfortunately, without a test, it will be hard to say what is going on.
