Fragrant sumac is a spreading shrub with three-lobed leaves. It is grown mostly for the attractive leaves that have a sharp fragrance reminiscent of pine, lemon and roses. The cultivar 'Gro-Low' was developed by Synnestvedt Nursery, which was in Glenview, Illinois. It grows 2-3 feet tall, but straggles along the ground to six feet or more. It makes a good low hedge for defining spaces or filling in a corner. Fragrant sumac is tolerant of dry soils and some shade once established. It is actually related to poison ivy, but most people are not sensitive to this species. Wearing gloves when pruning is not a bad idea.
