A Spectacle of Color Through the Seasons
The Royal Purple Smoke Bush is a four-season performer as it makes sure your garden is never left wanting to look at anything.
- Spring: Spring onset is characterized by an explosion of deep, deep burgundy-purple leaves which cover the ground in a thick, rounded canopy.
- Summer: The plant gets its smoke name. It grows huge plumes of tiny pinkish-purple flowers in the early summer, feathery in nature. These misty, puff-like panicles wrap around the tree in a light smoky veil and may take weeks to clear.
- Fall: With the fall coming around the foliage gives a final spectacular display. The dark purple leaves turn into striking red colors of scarlet, orange and fire.
Why Choose the Royal Purple Smoke Tree?
Other than its stunning beauty, this tree is well-known due to its toughness and adaptability.
- Drought Tolerant: It is a great selection in water-wary gardens when it is already in place, as it is virtually drought-resistant.
- Low Maintenance: It grows in full sun and in well-drained soil and it needs minimal care once it gets established.
- Versatile Use: It is an ideal dramatic stand alone specimen, can be grown in mass as a hedge, giving a colorful rich hedge, or in mixed shrub borders to add height and contrast.
