Royal Purple Smoke Tree — Cotinus coggygria

Royal Purple Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple') is one of the most dramatic and visually striking large shrubs you can plant, offering a captivating multi-season display of deep purple foliage and ethereal, smoke-like flowers. In early summer, clusters of small flowers give way to billowing, feathery plumes of pink-to-purple hairs that create a dreamy, smoky effect across the entire plant — hence the name. But the real star is the foliage: rich, deep purple leaves that intensify in color throughout the growing season, creating a bold, luxurious contrast against greens and pastels in the surrounding landscape. A low-maintenance, high-impact specimen, Royal Purple Smoke Tree thrives in full to part sun and is an exceptional choice for borders, wildlife gardens, and as a dramatic focal point. Hardy to Zone 4.
