Autumn Amber sumac

Autumn Amber sumac is an ideal groundcover shrub for terraced walls, xeric gardens, large open areas and dry shrub areas. Graceful and delicate-looking, yet tough enough to be used in harsh planting sites, including medians. Low-growing selection of native three-leaf sumac developed in New Mexico. Summer leaves glossy, bright green; fall color is amber to reddish. Read more about this plant here.

Tips from the pros: Plant individually, in mass plantings, or cascading over boulders or the edges of retaining walls. Maintenance is minimal unless trying to shape the plant into a small space, in which case trim it once or twice a year.
