Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall, spacing 6–8 feet apart. Gro-Low fragrant sumac is a low-growing native groundcover shrub excellent for slopes, banks, and areas where other plants struggle. It adapts to poor, dry, and rocky soils and is exceptionally drought tolerant once established. No soil amendment is needed. Dig the planting hole to the depth of the root ball, water well, and mulch lightly.

Care Tips

Minimal maintenance is required. Prune lightly in late winter if needed to control spread. Gro-Low spreads by underground stems to fill in areas over time — excellent for slope stabilization and erosion control. The fragrant spring flowers attract pollinators. Outstanding scarlet-red fall foliage color. Very cold hardy. No regular fertilizing is needed. One of the best native groundcover shrubs for challenging dry, sunny slopes.
