Cotinus Coggygria Royal Purple - 50/100cm, 15lt

Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’, or Smoke Tree 'Royal Purple', is a large, compact, deciduous shrub with upright, open habit, and very attractive, rounded, almost translucent, leaves - marron-red in spring, deep purple in summer, and scarlet in autumn. Large, feathery, fluffy purplish-pink flower plumes appear in late spring and cover the whole shrub creating a smoke-like appearance. Smoke Tree 'Royal Purple' is very adaptable and tolerates almost all types of soils, even poor and rocky, as long as they are well-drained. It thrives in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils, in full sun or partial shade. Leaf colour is best in full sun. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. Easy to transplant because of its fibrous root system. Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’ is perfect as an accent plant in cottage or meadow gardens or planted in a row as an informal hedge or shrub border. Suitable for growing in containers.
