The smoke tree is a spectacular ornamental shrub with cloud-like, fluffy flower plumes in shades of pink appearing in June and July, giving the tree its 'smoky' appearance. Cultivars with dark purple foliage provide dramatic colour throughout the season. Autumn colour is equally impressive.

Plant in full sun in well-drained, not overly rich soil. Too much fertility produces more foliage at the expense of flowers. The shrub is drought-tolerant once established. Protect young specimens from severe frost in the first winters.
Prune sparingly to maintain the natural form. Remove dead wood in early spring. For extra-large leaves you can hard-prune each spring, but this sacrifices the flowers.
