Cotinus ‘Royal Purple’, commonly known as the Smoke Bush, is a spectacular ornamental shrub, supplied as an XL approximately 4ft tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. With its impressive established size, rich purple foliage and distinctive smoky summer flowers, it is an outstanding choice for instant gardening, providing immediate height, colour and structure from the moment it is planted.
‘Royal Purple’ is particularly prized for its beautiful deep burgundy-purple foliage, which provides dramatic colour and contrast throughout the growing season. During summer, mature plants produce airy clouds of tiny flowers with soft, feathery plumes, creating the distinctive smoke-like appearance that gives this striking shrub its name. The foliage can develop even richer red and purple tones as autumn approaches.
At approximately 4ft tall, this is a substantial nursery-grown shrub offering an excellent head start over smaller young plants. Its established size makes it perfect as a feature shrub, statement plant or within a large mixed border, instantly helping to create the appearance of a more mature and established garden.
