Smoke Tree 'Royal Purple' (Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple')

Smoke Tree 'Royal Purple' is a large shrub or small tree with deep, rich purple, rounded leaves that hold their color all season. In summer, it produces massive, airy panicles of tiny flowers that create a hazy, smoke-like effect—hence the name. The fall color is brilliant red-orange.
