Rhus a. 'Gro-Low'

This plant forms a low-growing, dense, spreading habit, making it an excellent groundcover option. It is hardy in zones 3 to 9 and thrives in temperatures within this range. The fall foliage is a spectacular display of vibrant orange-red hues, adding seasonal interest to any landscape. During the growing season, it may produce inconspicuous flowers or small fruit that are visually understated but appreciated by wildlife. It performs well in well-drained soils, including rocky or sandy types, and tolerates dry conditions. Its mature spread is up to 6 feet wide, while the height typically reaches around 2 feet. The plant demonstrates strong deer resistance and is an ideal choice for erosion control due to its spreading nature. Perfect for naturalized areas, slopes, or as a colorful autumn accent.
