| Description | Cotinus Coggygria, Smoketree
Purple Smoke Bush is a gem in the garden thanks to it's unique blend of colours that change throughout the seasons. A large deciduous shrub or small tree, its beautiful eye-catching Spring foliage is green overlaid with purple. Summer brings deep purple foliage that then turns deep orange and bronze in a burst of glory for an Autumn show.
Purple Smokebush gets its name from the clouds of smoke-like purple and pink "flowers" it produces in early Summer. These are very beautiful themselves, and are prized along with the foliage by florists. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and it is tolerant of drought and most soils, making it a great addition to many gardens.
10" pot size. | Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'
The Forest Pansy is an incredibly beautiful small growing deciduous tree. Its rich purple heart-shaped foliage turns vibrant yellows, oranges, reds and purples in the autumn time and in the spring its bare, almost black branches are aflush with magenta blossoms. It is an ideal feature shade tree for a lush suburban, cottage or Japanese style garden.
