Hi Charlotteda,
I have a Smoke Bush that has dark purple leaves and looks like the one pictured here http://plantsdatabase.com/showimage/47693/
If you don't get any takers, I'd be glad to send you some cuttings for postage.

Thank you so much Gemila. I'll surely keep that in mind and take you up on it if I cant find a rooted one.
thanks

I have black knight butterfly bush, you can have a cutting for postage. They root as easily as lilacs. You just stick them in some soil.

It's American Beautyberry that has the fall purple flowers I believe. I have a huge one (watch where you plant em! - mine has swallowed three other shrubs!) Don't have any cuttings right now, sorry! Not sure how they do but will try some and let you know if you can't find em somewhere.

Charlotte,
I sent the cutting of the purple smoke bush today. I forgot to mention on my note that I lightly dipped the cut ends in rooting powder and hope this helps them root faster for you. I've never tried it myself and wish you luck.
