The Continus Coggygria - Royal Purple Smoke Tree is a deciduous shrub with maroon-red foliage and then change to a velvety purple color as the colder months approach. During the spring and summer months they do bloom very small flowers, but the real showstopper are the seed clusters that form red feathery plumes once the flower matures. This shrub can be pruned and kept as a small decorative hedge or border shrub to add some color pop. But can also be shaped into a small tree to give that wow factor to your landscape or garden. 

Though they do go into dormancy in winter months and lose their foliage, it is a fast and easy grower worthy of the crown and your garden.
