Green Alder vs Royal Purple SmokebushAlnus crispa Cotinus coggygria Royal Purple SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality.
Royal Purple Smokebush is an attractive and dramatic shrub. Mid-summer you'll notice feathery, purple-pink puffs of airy seed clusters that give the illusion of smoke. The contrast of these seed clusters against deep purple-red foliage will make Royal Purple Smokebush your new favorite shrub. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSROYAL PURPLE SMOKEBUSH QUICK FACTS
