'Gro Low' Fragrant Sumac

Gro‑Low Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica 'Gro Low') is a delightful, trouble‑free groundcover or slope stabilizer. It offers year-round texture—with glossy green leaves that release a fresh, citrusy scent when touched—and bursts of yellow in spring. Come autumn, foliage transforms to fiery hues of orange, red, and burgundy, adding seasonal wow.

It’s a hardworking plant: over time, it forms a dense mat up to eight feet wide, excellent for habitat, erosion control, and mass planting impact. Pollinators enjoy the early flowers, and birds snack on the fall fruits. Plus, it tolerates a wide range of soils, from clay to sand, and plays well with other natives in low‑water landscapes.
