Rhus Aromatica 'Gro-Low' |
|
|
 |
The "Gro-Low" variety of the Rhus Aromatica
or Fragrant Sumac was made for covering slopes. It quickly grows to just
over 2 feet tall and up to 8 feet wide.
The bright green leaves look like rounded
poison ivy leaves but are non allergenic and turn bright red, yellow-orange
and purple in fall. Modest yellow flowers appear in spring followed by
small dark red fruits (on female plants) in fall. It is the stems that
are fragrant.
Sumacs reportedly do poorly in heavy, wet
soils, but "Gro-Low" does just fine in the silty clay.
For the best fall color, grow this shrub
in full sun, though plants are tolerant of partial shade. "Gro-Low" needs
plenty of room to spread out. But if its vigorous growth gets out of hand
or it becomes untidy, cut it back hard in the spring.
Avoid pairing this sumac with small, delicate
plants that could be crowded out. Consider other strong growers, such as
golden St. John’s wort, as planting companions.
