Features and Growth Habit

Royal Purple grows to about 2 to 3 metres tall and wide, forming a rounded, open shrub. Its deep purple leaves create dramatic contrast throughout the growing season, culminating in vibrant autumn colours. The soft, plume-like flowers appear in summer, producing a distinctive “smoky” effect.

Growing Conditions and Care

This smokebush thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Pruning after flowering encourages fresh growth and helps maintain a compact shape. Cotinus Royal Purple is ideal for specimen planting, garden borders, and mixed shrub beds.
