Rhus aromatica 'Gro-Low'
Choose Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac for tough, native coverage on banks, dry edges, and wide beds. The tradeoff: it spreads by design, so it needs room or edging.
Buy This If
- You need living groundcover.
- You want strong fall color.
- You have a difficult dry bank.
Skip This If
- You need a tidy specimen shrub.
- You cannot allow spreading.
- Deer browse heavily near the house.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives broad coverage and strong fall color, especially when planted in groups. |
| Growth Rate | A | It fills in faster than many woody groundcovers once established. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is tough, but edges may need cutting back where spread matters. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Its spreading habit makes it a poor fit for small, tightly planted beds. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a groundcovering shrub, not a privacy or property-line screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for wide, practical coverage rather than decorative front-door planting. Give it space, use it in drifts, and plan the edge before it fills in.

Customers Usually Ask
Is this poison sumac?
No, Gro-Low Fragrant Sumac is a different plant.
Will it hold a slope?
Yes, that is one of its best uses.
Can I keep it small?
Not easily; choose a more compact shrub for tight spaces.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
