Description
Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica) is a perennial shrub native to North America. It is commonly found in dry open woods, savannas, and prairies. The plant has attractive, aromatic leaves. These leaves have a lemon-like scent and can be crushed and sniffed to release fragrance. Fragrant sumac shows off small clusters of yellow-green flower sprays in late spring to early summer. The flowers then give rise to velvety hues of red-purple succulent fruits that are edible and packed with antioxidants. With its interesting form and foliage, fragrant sumac is an ideal choice for landscapes and gardens. It is considered an important food source for birds and wildlife.
