Purple Smoketree – Cotinus coggygria atropurpurea Seeds | 60 Seeds | Purple Smoke Bush | Ornamental Shrub | Fall Color

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

The rich purple leaves provide intense contrast in garden beds and borders, then transform into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple in autumn. After the small spring flowers fade, long pinkish filaments remain, forming the airy “smoke” display that gives this plant its name.

Hardy and adaptable, Purple Smoketree tolerates cold, heat, drought, urban conditions, and poor rocky soils (with proper drainage). It works beautifully as a specimen plant, informal hedge, dramatic backdrop, or accent shrub in sunny landscapes. This 60-seed pack is ideal for larger planting projects or shrub borders.

You will receive:
✔️ 60 Purple Smoketree seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions included
✔️ Non-pretreated seeds
✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery
