Rhus aromatica 'gro-low'
Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac
This shrub is highly toxic. The Sumach spreads via suckering shoots so remove any that appear from the base of the plant. 'Gro-Low' Fragrant Sumac is a vigorous shrub which grows to a maximum height of .8m, hugs the ground and spreads out to 2.5m, making it an excellent choice for stablizing a bank or smothering weeds. It has small yellow flowers, hairy red fruits, and glossy leaves that change to gorgeous orange-red in autumn.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Rhus is happy in sun or part shade and moist but well drained soil. Give this plant lots of room as it likes to spread its wings. It also puts out suckers and can soon take over a corner of the garden. To restrict growth and spread, plant in a large container which can then be sunk into the garden bed. Water frequently in dry weather, especially during its first year.
