Smoke tree might have a slight problem these days when smoking outside becomes prohibited ... just joking, the alleged smoke is what flowering of this shrub looks like. It blooms from
June to July and from a distance the clusters do look like purple smoke. The leaves of Royal Purple are deep burgundy. It requires no maintenance. On the other hand, we may suggest something to keep this shrub look amazing: cut last year’s twigs to half their size. Thus the branches will remain fully leafed. It has no special soil requirements, but dislikes wet or boggy soils. It grows taller than the basic green species, adult plants may grow up to some 4 m in our climate.
