Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple'
The rich maroon-purple, oval leaves of Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’ create a striking presence through summer, turning a brilliant red in autumn for a truly vibrant display. As if the foliage weren’t showy enough, from July to August the plant produces masses of airy, pinkish-purple flower plumes that give the illusion of soft, drifting smoke around the shrub — an effect that inspires its common name, the Smoke Bush.
Cotinus 'Royal Purple' will naturally grow to a shrub of around 5 x 5 meters in size over 20 years, but we have grown it as a beautiful single stem tree with a lovely rounded habit. It requires a moist, well-drained soil in full or partial sun and it won’t fail to impress.
