Zone: 3GRO-LOW FRAGRANT SUMAC
Rhus aromatica 'Gro-Low' is commonly referred to as Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac. It is an adaptable, low-growing, deciduous, groundcover shrub that provides great erosion control. It features small, fragrant yellow flowers in early to mid spring that are followed by clusters of velvety red fruit in late summer to late fall. Flowers bring in all the beneficial pollinators! The glossy green, serrated compound leaves are fragrant when brushed up against or crushed, and turn a spectacular orange and mahogany-red in fall.
Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac is easy to grow, thriving in full sun to partial shade in average, well-drained soils. It is drought tolerant once established. It is ideal for naturalizing, woodland gardens and mass plantings.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, noting that these species are exceptionally adaptable and frequently thrive in poor or rocky sites where other plants struggle. Select a location in full sun to partial shade, which encourages the most vibrant autumn foliage color and consistent growth. While they are highly drought-tolerant once established, provide supplemental water during the first growing season to ensure the root system is well-anchored. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to manage the plant's natural spread, as many varieties in this genus exhibit a vigorous, suckering habit that may need occasional containment depending on your landscape design. These shrubs are incredibly resilient and tolerate hard pruning if rejuvenation is required to keep them looking their best. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the mulch away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
