Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’

Royal Purple Smokebush

A variety of smoke tree noted for its dark purple foliage, which becomes even more intense in the fall. Its fluffy pink-red flower clusters create a vaporous and decorative effect in summer. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Once well-established, it tolerates moderate drought. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage growth and blooming. Prune in early spring to maintain a compact shape. A more severe pruning can be done to rejuvenate the plant or control its size.
