AROMA SUMAC 2gal

For a tough-as-nails, beautiful, and fragrant addition to your landscape, look no further than ‘Aroma’ Sumac! This versatile, native deciduous shrub is a true workhorse in the garden. It forms an attractive, low-growing mound, typically reaching 2-5 feet tall and spreading 6-10 feet wide, making it perfect for covering slopes, controlling erosion, or as a naturalized groundcover. In spring, delicate yellow flowers appear before the leaves, offering early season interest, but the real showstopper is its fall foliage, bursting into brilliant shades of red, orange, and purple. Best of all, when brushed against or crushed, the leaves and twigs release a delightful lemony fragrance!

‘Aroma’ Sumac thrives in full sun to partial shade and is incredibly adaptable to various soil conditions, including poor, rocky, and dry soils, which makes it an excellent choice for our Prescott climate.
