I ordered around 20 plants. All came beautifully packaged and in good shape.m except for the smoke bush. It was in a dry pot and its leaves were shriveled. I placed it I. Called light and watered it for about a week. It did not improve. I think the root system was not well developed and so getting dry during shipment did it in. This plant was the smallest of all as well, less than the size of my hand. I did plant it in hopes it does something but I’m pretty sure it is dead. All the other plants I ordered are doing beautifully.

Very nice size and structure. Kept it under lights for a week due to frost warnings. Began to leaf out but as soon as planted out and the leaves are shifting from green to purple. I have great hope for this plant.

Enjoy! 😍

Poor plant. Good shape but only 2 leaves on arrival. Kept in shade on my morning porch but no leaves now

Please plant once your last threat of frost has passed. Our shrubs are still arriving dormant (no foliage) if you live in a warmer climate, plant it

Just purchased 2 PW Black Smokebush Shrubs from local nursery. I'm a little confused as to why the PW tag states 3'-4' tall & wide but on the PW website, it states 8'-10' tall and 6'-8' wide. That extra footage shown on the website makes all the difference as to where I plant these. Regardless, I'm still stoked I have them but the non-clarity in size is a bit frustrating.

Thank you for sharing! Winecraft Black will reach 8-10 feet tall and 6-8' wide at maturity. Enjoy 😍

Plants arrived fast and in great condition. If I cant find a plant in the local nursery, I always find it here. I like that they come smaller because they are easier to plant in the ground. Once planted, they take right off.

Leslie, Thank you for sharing !! We love to hear it <3

Was a bit tattered. Followed planting instructions, looking forward to the spring to see how it grows. I bought the bush because it likes full sun and really doesn’t need to be pruned. Perfect for me!

Love it! It is beautiful. The leaf color is such a rich purple. Nicer than I realized. I love that I can find just about anything I want on your online store. It was delivered in excellent condition. My husband saw this bush on Garden Answer and loved it. He passed away and in memory of him, I planted it.
