Royal Purple Smokebush

Today we planted a new smokebush to replace the one that died last year. Cotinus coggygria "Royal Purple" flowering shrub. Beautiful, velvety, dark purple foliage throughout the growing season with panicles of smoky purple to beige flowers blooming in mid-summer.  Hardiness: Zone 5-8. Drought tolerant. Deer resistant. Height: 8-10'. Spread 8-10'.
