GRO LOW SUMAC 3gal

The Gro-Low Sumac (Rhus aromatica) is the unsung hero of the low-maintenance landscape, especially if you are looking to clothe a difficult slope or fill a bare corner with hardy, fragrant foliage. Reaching a modest 2 feet in height but spreading a generous 6 to 8 feet wide, this deciduous shrub acts as a lush, green carpet that transitions into a spectacular display of fiery orange and red come autumn. For those of us in Zones 7 and 8, it is a dream come true: it thrives in full sun to part shade and is remarkably resistant to both deer and rabbits.

To ensure your sumac hits the ground running, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to improve drainage and keep those roots cool. Follow up with a healthy dose of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to provide the slow-release nutrients needed for vigorous growth. This plant doesn’t just fill space; it protects your soil and invites beauty without the constant upkeep.
