| Outstanding Features | With its large panicles of wispy purple-colored flowers in spring and early summer giving the effect of a cloud of smoke, this small tree makes a wonderful accent in a shrub border or planted as a specimen. The deep purple leaves keep their color all summer, turning to a rich red-purple in the fall. |
