Purple Smoketree – Cotinus coggygria atropurpurea Seeds | 120 Seeds | Purple Smoke Bush | Ornamental Shrub | Fall Color

Add dramatic color and texture to your landscape with Purple Smoketree (Cotinus coggygria atropurpurea). This fast-growing ornamental shrub is prized for its deep purple foliage and signature “smoke-like” plumes that create a soft, airy cloud effect throughout summer.

The rich purple leaves provide bold contrast in garden beds and shrub borders, then transition into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple in fall. After the small spring flowers fade, long pinkish filaments remain on the stems, forming the striking smoky display that makes this plant unforgettable.

Hardy and highly adaptable, Purple Smoketree tolerates cold, heat, drought, and urban conditions. It performs well even in poor or rocky soils as long as drainage is good. Ideal as a specimen plant, informal hedge, colorful backdrop, or mass planting accent, this 120-seed pack is perfect for larger landscape projects and garden designs.

✔️ 120 Purple Smoketree seeds
