Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' is one of the most popular smoke bush varieties, prized for its intense purple foliage and dramatic summer flower plumes. The large, rounded leaves provide bold colour from spring through summer, while the soft, smoky pink flowers add texture and movement. In autumn, the foliage transforms into vibrant red and orange tones. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and easy to grow, this striking shrub or small tree is ideal as a focal point in borders or larger garden planting schemes.
