'Gro-low' is a dwaf selection of Fragrant Sumac. It has the same round-lobed, poison ivy shaped leaves and great fall color, and ability to colonize poor soil, but it differs in growing only 2 to 3 feet tall and up to 9 feet wide. This makes 'Gro-low' a great ground cover choice for banks, road cuts or anywhere you need to stabilize the soil in mostly sunny places. The spreading branches tend to root where they touch the soil so eventually a fairly thick tangle is produced. Of course no plant is going to grow well, if at all, in rock hard subsoil, but for that steep bank in full sun with lousy, dry soil, try 'Gro-low', Aromatic Aster, and maybe some Silkgrass. Those should go a long way towards stabilizing and beautifying your problem bank. Cat# 1313
