Some purple-leafed shrubs simply turn green in the high heat of summer. Our two Royal Purple Smokebushes do it every year in Kansas, and both are planted in very full sun. In Chicago, where we didn't have heat this intense, they remained purple. Also, for the last few years we have had a Corylus avellana âÂÂRed Majesticâ (Harry Lauder's Walking Stick), also in very full sun, and Harry was a gorgeous purple until last week, when he decided to go green for July and August. I asked our Hort Extension Agent about it and he said it just happens with some plants, and the only thing to do is wait for cooler temps.

peg, do add your zone to your i.d. (see my separate thread). for shrub companions, i suggest plants that give you more than 1 season of interest(the callicarpa is very time limited in appeal) such as: blue conifers, yellow conifers or shrubs,or varieg foliage shrubs.i have a number of these cotinus; some successful pairings are: cornus ivory halo, blue spruce golden weigela or philadelphus or berberis clematis Henryii (white) growing up it eupatorium gateway miscanthus strictus and varieg. for flowers, i agree w/ the mauve, clear pink,lemon yellow,and white palate but if you want to go BOLD, do crocosmia Lucifer growing up through the middle of it! best, mindy

This may be too late for you, but I'll go ahead and mention my experience, in case someone else is trying to figure out what to do. Early this summer, I planted two smokebushes about thirty feet away from a black walnut in my yard - maybe ten feet beyond the canopy. They've both failed to thrive. The leaves turned brown in patches (and the purple one lost its purple color entirely), and a couple of branches have died off completely. It sounds very much like what happened to artdeco. They might have just had a rough time getting established, but I think it's more than that. I went on the web to see what I could find about smokebushes - with some suspicion that the walnut was causing the problem - but there's very little information. Tentatively, I'm going to say that this is a bad combination, continus seems to be sensitive to juglone. (Just as a note: at the same distance to the walnut, there were already a fig, a magnolia, and even a lilac - all seem to be doing just fine.) I'm going to try again with another smokebush in another location, to see if I can kill that one off as well.
