Purple Supreme Smoke Tree

The Purple Supreme Smoketree grows rapidly into a spreading shrub 10 feet tall and wide, or more. Its round leaves are burgundy-red in spring, turning rich purple in summer, and staying that way right into the fall, when they turn red and purple. In late spring and early summer the whole plant is covered in a smoky cloud of pink bloom structures that are truly unique and beautiful. Grow this plant for background in large beds or open spaces. It makes a striking lawn specimen, or grow it on open, rocky areas.

• Rich purple leaves stay colorful all summer
• Capped with a smoky-pink cloud of blossoms
• Large shrub for background and lawn specimens
• Extra hardy selection for cold zones
• Easy to grow and fast-growing

The Purple Supreme Smoketree will grow best, with the richest coloring, in full sun. Avoid shady areas, but plant in any well-drained soil, including poor sandy and rocky soils. Once established it is very drought resistant, and it is free of pests or diseases. It needs no maintenance, but it can be pruned as hard as needed in early spring to keep it smaller and encourage new growth.
