Cotinus coggygria 'Purpureus', commonly known as Purple Smoketree, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to southern Europe and central China. It is renowned for its striking reddish-purple foliage that matures to a rich green in summer and transforms into vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. The plant's name derives from its unique, airy flower clusters that appear in summer, resembling puffs of smoke. These "smoky" plumes are actually the elongated, feathery stalks of spent flower clusters, providing a dramatic visual effect in the landscape. 'Purpureus' is a hardy, low-maintenance plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it a popular choice for gardeners seeking year-round interest.
