The Royal Purple Smoke Tree is a dramatic four-season performer, celebrated for its deep, wine-purple foliage that transforms to fiery scarlet in fall. In summer, it produces masses of smoky pink, hair-like flower panicles that envelop the plant in a purple haze. This tough, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant shrub can be pruned as a large, rounded bush or trained into a striking small multi-trunked tree.

• Maintains rich, deep burgundy-purple foliage throughout spring and summer, turning brilliant shades of scarlet, orange, and purple in autumn.

• Produces abundant, feathery, smoke-like pink to purple flower plumes in mid-summer that persist for weeks, creating a unique, hazy effect.

• Extremely adaptable and low-maintenance; thrives in poor, rocky, or alkaline soils, is highly drought and heat tolerant once established, and is pest and deer resistant.

• Highly versatile: Can be pruned hard in late winter to maintain a dense, compact shrub with larger leaves, or lightly pruned to develop its natural, tree-like form with spectacular flowers.

• Provides exceptional color contrast against green foliage or light-colored walls.
