Introducing Rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac), a deciduous shrub that is native to Canada and the United States. With a woody frame reaching up to 6 ft tall, it produces clusters of yellow flowers in March/April before the leaves emerge, followed by hairy red drupes in July/August. Unlike its relative poison ivy, fragrant sumac leaves and stems have a citrus fragrance when crushed, making it appealing to those in search of a refreshing scent in their gardens. It grows best in well-drained soils between pH ranges of 6.0 to 8.5, and its shallow, fibrous roots make it easily transplantable. This low maintenance plant is perfect for landscapers, designers or anyone interested in adding a new groundcover to their garden. It has a beautiful autumn color, spreading up to 6 to 8 ft around, and is non-toxic, unlike its poisonous counterpart. It's also believed to have astringent properties and can be brewed into a tea or used to make a refreshing lemonade. So why not add this unique and versatile plant to your garden today?
