Rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac) is a sprawling, deciduous shrub that reaches 6-12 feet in height and forms colonies with aromatic, trifoliate leaves. This drought-tolerant shrub is valued for its fall color, ranging from red to yellow and orange, and its red berries that persist into winter. It grows well in dry, rocky soils and provides food for birds and small animals, attracting butterflies and serving as a host for the Red-banded hairstreak butterfly.
