Overview

Fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica 'Gro-Low') is an easy-to-maintain deciduous shrub that produces charming yellow flowers in the springtime. Its nickname, “Gro-Low”, comes from its compact, low-growing nature – perfect for use as a groundcover. In the fall, its attractive foliage turns to vibrant orange and red hues. Its bark is scented by the oil glands that are found in its leaves. This small shrub will attract wildlife, with its evenly spreading branches and can be planted in large groupings to create a stunning display in any garden.
