Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple'

Cotinus is a popular, easy-to-grow shrub with beetroot-colored, rounded leaves that grow in whorls around the stem. On a sunny day, the leaves appear almost translucent, and by autumn, they have transformed into magnificent copper tones. The feathery blooms in midsummer are a sight to behold and will impress the neighbors. Cotinus is a low-maintenance shrub that stays neat and bushy for many years in the garden. The Smoke Bush grows in a variety of soils, prefers sun or shade, and requires no complicated pruning. Height and Spread: 5m (16').
