Description
Smoke Tree is a stunning ornamental tree that delivers a magnificent display of color and texture throughout the seasons. In early summer, large, airy plumes of soft, smoky pink flowers appear, creating a hazy, cloud-like effect that gives this tree its name. Its rounded form and bold foliage add a fresh splash of color to the landscape, with varieties offering shades of rich green, deep purple, or golden hues. Come fall, the foliage transforms into a spectacular display of fiery oranges, reds, and purples, making it one of the finest choices for adding year-round interest and elegance.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring if shaping is desired or to remove dead wood
With its striking flower plumes, bold foliage, and brilliant fall color, Smoke Tree is a showstopping addition to any landscape, offering structure, texture, and seasonal brilliance.
