Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' is more commonly known as a Smoke Bush. It is a large deciduous shrub with distinctive, rounded, deep-purple leaves that in autumn become a vivid red. In summer, it is awash with fluffy plumes of pink-purple flowers that resemble a pink smoky haze which is where the name derives from.
Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' is a colourful bushy shrub, that offers a striking contrast against other garden plants in beds or borders but also shines as a standalone specimen with its deep and vibrant colour. It will grow to an average height and spread after 10 years of 4m x 4m but is easy to keep to a more compact shape.
Plant your Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' in well-drained soil in full sun to achieve the most intense colour. Mulch around the base of the plant during the growing season to preserve soil moisture. A hard prune in late winter will encourage new growth and good leaf colouration, otherwise simply trim out any diseased or crossing shoots.
