Cotinus coggygria, commonly known as the Smoke Tree or Smoke Bush, is a deciduous shrub grown for its foliage and interesting flowers. It gets its common name from the billowy hairs that remain in summer from the spent flower clusters, which are pink-purple and resemble a puff of smoke.

It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry.
