Cotinus coggygria, commonly known as Purple Smoke Tree or Smoke Bush, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to southern Europe and central Asia. It typically grows to a height of 3-4 meters with a similar spread, forming a rounded, open habit. The plant is known for its oval, purple to green leaves that turn vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow in autumn. In late spring to early summer, it produces large, airy panicles of tiny yellow flowers, which develop into feathery, smoky-pink plumes, giving the plant its common name. It is often used as a feature plant, in mixed borders, or as part of low-maintenance landscapes for its striking foliage and unique flowers.
