Smoketrees, particularly Cotinus coggygria, are popular garden shrubs. Several bronze or purple-leaved cultivars of Cotinus coggygria have been selected, with warm pink inflorescences set against purple-black foliage; the commonest in commerce are 'Notcutt's Variety' and 'Royal Purple'. When brought into cultivation together, the two species will form hybrids; some garden cultivars are of this parentage. Also called purple smoketree
