AN ATTRACTIVE PLANT – BOTANIC GARDENS
Is this Royal Purple Smokebush? a large, upright shrub becoming spreading with age. In spring, the foliage emerges a rich maroon-red, darkening to a velvety purple as the summer progresses. Insignificant flowers mature into dusty wine-red feathery plumes, earning it the name Smokebush.
