Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An especially floriferous and stunning smokebush reaching up to 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide. The copious dark pink, mid-summer plumes last for weeks, and contrast beautifully with the attractive blue-green foliage. To quote the breeder Tim Wood, "It's got more smoke than a Kiss concert!" Perfect as an eye-catching specimen, mass planting, border or hedge. May be trained to grow as a tree, but they are best only pruned selectively for desired shape. PP32352 S-PSh/M
