Fragrant Sumac

Rhus fragrans

Fragrant Sumac is a versatile, low-growing native shrub prized for the spicy, citrus-like fragrance released when its leaves or stems are brushed or bruised. Small clusters of tiny yellow flowers appear in very early spring before the leaves emerge, followed by attractive fuzzy red berries that birds eagerly consume. Come fall, its three-leaflet foliage transforms into a vibrant tapestry of orange, red, and burgundy, making it one of the finest native shrubs for banks, slopes, and mass plantings where low maintenance and outstanding seasonal color are equally important.
