Pink Smoketree | Shrubs from Gurney's Seed and Nursery

Pink Smoketree

Showy Native Plant

(9 customer reviews)

Creates an unforgettable display in midsummer when its feathery lime-green flowers become airy pink plumes. In fall, the Pink Smoketree has blue-green leaves turn gold, scarlet and purple. Grows 10-15 ft. prune to tree or shrub form. Resists pests and diseases. Full sun.

Flowering shrubs are bargains in beauty. They produce a profusion of flowers and foliage- a feast for your senses- and seem equally attractive to birds, butterflies and hummingbirds. Even when they’re not in bloom, many add interest to the landscape. Shrubs grow fast, last nearly forever and require a minimum care.

Bareroot.

Zones: 4-8.

Comments: A beautiful and highly decorative shrub where-ever it is used in the landscape. The rich purple foliage does not fade in the sun and brings a wonderful color to the garden. In June - August seedheads develop into huge fluffy clouds of smoky pink (hence the name) and are prized for their delicate flower-like display. If it gets too tall or open it can be cut back to ground-level when necessary to induce compact new growth. A hardy and trouble-free shrub with multiple uses in the garden.

Great Tree
Reviewed By: Niki (Bussey, Iowa)
I bought one of these trees either 3 or 4 springs ago. It came and was alive but did pretty much look like a dead stick. I planted it and was somewhat skeptical. However after 3-4 years it has grown to be a beautiful tree. It is about 6 foot tall and has thick beautiful foilage. Although, I have yet to see it flower out and have it's pink feathery appearance. I'm hoping next year it will feather out. I have also heard everyone say that this tree perfers dry/sandy/rocky soil. However, I live in Iowa and have black soil that has absolutely no rocks in it and it also tends to be quite wet and it has done very well.

Beautiful tree

The first year I ordered this tree, I did see the flumes and they were so pretty. Hope this year there are more flumes than last year.

1 of 3 made it
Reviewed By: Lori (Cumberland, MD.)
I ordered (3) of these, like others they were little Sticks with hair, I was unsure what I would get... Of the # I ordered Only One make the trip... Now it is beautiful, and this will be its second year in the ground, I have yet to see the Flower Pink yet, but the leaves are beauiful, and the one that did make it seems to really have taking off...It has great hieght, and I can't wait to see the Pink color come our... Don't know how long it usually takes but hoping this year to be my year... The only reason I rated this a (3) is because of the other (2) that didn't make it :(
