Roberta’s first ever smokebush! This compact Proven Winners® Winecraft Black® Smokebush is the perfect perennial shrub to bring interest season after season! Foliage starts purple in spring, darkens to nearly black in summer, and evolves to reds and oranges in fall. In summer soft flower panicles appear that seem to float like clouds of smoke! The interest and intrigue never stops. Only growing 6’ tall rather than typical 15’+ means more gardeners can enjoy them for the firs time. Very winter hardy, easy to grow and long lived.
