Smoketree

Cotinus, commonly known as the smoke bush, is a genus of deciduous shrubs or small trees prized for their dramatic, cloud-like flower panicles. These upright, spreading plants feature simple, oval leaves in striking shades of purple, gold, or green that transition into brilliant autumn hues of orange and red. Ideal as specimen plants or informal hedges, they thrive in well-drained soil and full sun. Their unique, wispy summer blooms create a misty effect that enhances any landscape.
