Purple Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria ‘Purpureus’)

Description

The Purple Smoke Tree, also known as Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’, is a deciduous shrub noted for its striking deep purple leaves and large, wispy flower clusters that resemble clouds of smoke. In late spring to early summer, it produces airy, plume-like panicles that create a dramatic visual effect against the dark foliage. This hardy plant is often used in gardens and landscapes for its vibrant color and unique texture.
