Why the Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac?

Make Gro-Low really pop by locating it in front of taller shrubs and perennials where each one can work together to create a piece of artwork in your own backyard.
Fragrant Sumac, Rhus aromatica, is a vital shrub to butterflies and is also native in the lower 48 states. Fragrant Sumac is commonly found in the wild growing in rocky or sandy terrain where they thrive and help feed the fauna. The flowers of Fragrant Sumac are full of sweet nectar that butterflies flock to and ensure that their populations can be fed and thrive. Most Fragrant Sumac plants are very large and tall, but Gro-Low was most likely taken from an outlier in the wild that grew smaller than the rest. Enjoy the benefits of a native sumac just in smaller form with the Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac.
