Sylguy, I'll bet it's a Cotinus Velvet Cloak or a Cotinus Royal Purple. Love 'em - easiest plant in the world to take care of. I have two other kinds - Cotinus Grace and Cotinus Nordine Red. But it will definitely be bigger. But - don't you love it - you can chop it to the GROUND in spring and it will spring back up with lots of leaves. If you want the plumes, no chopping.

And Missingrosie, you are absolutely right - they do come up everywhere they touch where the soil is bare. But thank goodness not in the lawn (like milkweed - yuk!). Scratch out those seedlings!
