Benefits of Rhus Variants to Your Garden
A sumac plant can be combined with other plants to create a diverse and vibrant garden. Its bold leaves and fall color make them a standout addition from early spring to late winter. Add the deep-red color of Scarlet sumac (Rhus glabra), also known as Smooth sumac, or a light-green texture to your garden with Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). Besides improving your garden’s appearance, Fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica) can attract all sorts of pollinators and friendly wildlife to your landscape!
