Dodonaea viscosa ‘Purpurea’ is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub/tree featuring narrow, leathery, 3- to 4-inch leaves that are bright bronze-green to coppery-purple in the hot summer months and then change into an intense reddish-purple or burgundy winter color. Flowers are inconspicuous, tiny green/yellow clusters appearing in spring to mid-summer, followed in late summer by paper-thin, maple-like seed capsules. Can be grown as a large shrub and a small, standard tree. Uses include privacy screen, hedge, windbreaks. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. It has moderate to low water needs; drought-tolerant once established. Thrives in full sun; best for winter color. It prefers poor-to-average soil but grows well in any soil type as long as drainage is good. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 10°F.
