Large foliage, bold colour, and rapid results
Smoke Bush ‘Grace’ is a premium hybrid Smoke Bush renowned for its vigorous growth, oversized foliage, and exceptional seasonal colour. This fast-growing deciduous shrub or small tree produces large, soft purple-red leaves that deepen through summer before igniting into brilliant shades of orange, crimson, and scarlet in autumn. In summer, airy pink “smoke” plumes float above the foliage, adding movement and texture. Perfect for Melbourne conditions, ‘Grace’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an outstanding choice for feature planting where scale, speed, and impact are essential.
