This compact deciduous shrub creates a dramatic focal point with its deep purple, rounded leaves that turn fiery shades of red and orange in autumn. In summer, it produces wispy plumes of pinkish purple flowers that resemble puffs of smoke, giving the plant its distinctive appearance. Perfect for smaller gardens or mixed borders, its upright, bushy habit requires minimal pruning to maintain shape. Thrives in full sun and well drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. The colourful foliage and unusual flowers make it ideal for adding contrast and seasonal interest to modern landscapes or cottage gardens.
