Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac 1 Live Groundcover Shrub – Rhus aromatica ‘Gro-Low’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica ‘Gro-Low’) is a low-growing, spreading deciduous shrub valued for its attractive green foliage, aromatic leaves, and vivid autumn coloration. This cultivated selection of a North American native species develops a broad, dense growth habit that makes it useful for landscape groundcover, slope plantings, foundation beds, and naturalistic gardens.

Its trifoliate leaves release a distinctive fragrance when crushed or brushed. During autumn, the foliage may develop shades of orange, red, and burgundy, adding seasonal interest to the landscape. Small yellowish flowers can appear in early spring before or alongside emerging leaves, and female plants may produce reddish, berry-like fruits when pollination conditions are suitable.

This listing includes one live Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac in a 3 gallon nursery pot. Approx. 15 inches tall at time of shipping. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a variety of well-drained soils. Once established, this hardy shrub is relatively drought tolerant and is especially useful in sunny landscape areas where a spreading groundcover shrub is desired.
