Dusky Maiden Smokebush Spruce papery clusters with small nutletsDusky Maiden Smokebush (Cotinus coggygria 'Dusky Maiden') Dusky Maiden Smokebush is a compact, color forward shrub that brings deep purple foliage and a soft, smoky bloom effect to sunny landscapes. It adds strong contrast from spring through fall, helping mixed beds look more designed and less flat. Summer flower panicles create the signature haze like look that gives smokebush its name, then the foliage often shifts toward warm orange and red tones
