Cotinus coggygria ‘ Royal Purple ‘
Smokebush

Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’, commonly known as Royal Purple Smokebush, is a dramatic deciduous shrub admired for its rich, dark foliage and airy, smoke-like flower plumes. It is a striking feature plant that adds bold colour and texture to the garden.

The large, rounded leaves emerge deep burgundy-purple in spring and retain their intense colour throughout the growing season, often turning brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn. In late spring to early summer, soft, feathery clusters of tiny flowers appear, creating a hazy, smoky effect above the foliage — giving the plant its common name.

Royal Purple Smokebush grows into a rounded, multi-stemmed shrub or small tree, making it ideal as a focal point in garden beds or lawns. It thrives in full sun, which helps maintain its deep leaf colour, and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and relatively low maintenance.

With its bold purple leaves and unique smoky blooms, Cotinus ‘Royal Purple’ brings strong contrast and elegance to both modern and traditional landscapes.
