smoke tree
Hazy-looking ornamental plant
A smoke tree is an ornamental shrub or small tree whose wispy, feathery flower clusters give the plant a hazy, smoke-like appearance from a distance.
The effect is most pronounced when the plant is in bloom, creating clouds of delicate pinkish or purplish plumes: The smoke tree in the corner of the yard looked like a small purple fog.
