Purple Smoketree – Cotinus coggygria atropurpurea Seeds | 240 Seeds | Purple Smoke Bush | Ornamental Shrub | Fall Color

Create bold, dramatic landscape impact with Purple Smoketree (Cotinus coggygria atropurpurea). Known for its rich dark purple foliage and airy, smoke-like summer plumes, this fast-growing ornamental shrub delivers season-long color and texture.

The deep purple leaves provide striking 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, forming the soft, cloudlike “smoke” display that gives this plant its name.

Hardy and highly adaptable, Purple Smoketree tolerates cold, heat, drought, and urban conditions. It performs well even in poor or rocky soils with good drainage. Ideal for mass plantings, hedges, restoration projects, or bold specimen accents, this 240-seed pack is perfect for large-scale landscaping or nursery growing.
