Detailed Information
While ‘Royal Purple’ is a cultivar, the species *Cotinus coggygria* (from which it’s derived) is native to a wide area spanning:
* **Southern Europe:** From Spain and Italy eastward.
* **Central Asia:** Including regions like Turkey, Iran, and the Caucasus.
* **China:** Northwest China
Therefore, a plant labeled solely as *Cotinus coggygria* or even *Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’* has its genetic origins in this broad Eurasian region, but has been bred for propagation and resale in modern times in temperate climates such as the U.S.
