Lacette Fragrant Sumac

Lacette Fragrant Sumac was selected for its dense and mounded habit, as well as its finely textured foliage. Fragrant Sumacs are a great native shrub with multiple seasons of interest, and they add value to native birds, bees and butterflies.

The native range of Rhus aromatica extends over most of North America, growing in rocky prairies and open fields from coast to coast. Tolerant of a wide array of soils and thriving in full sun, Lacette can handle hot, dry planting areas once established. It’s a great solutions for a wide range of planting applications, including sloping hillsides, urban parking lots, creating attractive hedging, and is lovely in informal gardens and landscapes. It features dense branching that develops into tight mounds, and it and seldom needs pruning. With the use of living hedges becoming more popular, Lacette is the perfect candidate to use in tough, sunny sites.

Q. What does ‘potless plug’ mean?

A. Thanks for asking! We’re working to lower our use of plastic in our supply chain, the potless product for sale on this page is a part of this effort. When you buy a potless product, expect a well rooted plant whose root ball is contained in a bag rather than a plastic pot and a bag.
