Purple Smoke Tree Grace -   15 garden design Drawing focal points ideas

Flower Landscape In Garden Large shrubs and small trees are always a versatile addition to a garden; they can break up open spaces, provide shade for smaller plants, act as a focal point to draw attention to your property’s most beautiful features and much more. There’s a huge range to choose from, of course, and it can be difficult to find exactly the right one to suit your purposes. One that should definitely make it to your shortlist is the Smoke Tree, Cotinus coggygria; a loose, spreading shrubby tree that offers spectacular foliage, it can really add a touch of class and interest to your garden. The “Grace” variety is a particularly good choice, with its vivid foliage that starts out a bright red and slowly darkens to a striking burgundy as spring turns to summer. Midsummer is greeted with a spectacular floral display and the fall colors of this tree will delight everyone who sees it.
