    Fragrant Sumac attracts Monarchs, provides special value to native bees, is a larval host for Hairstreak butterflies and provides nectar for butterflies.

    It also provides winter food for for many upland gamebirds, songbirds, and large and small mammals. Two plants are needed for fruit.

    A rapid spreader, Fragrant Sumac colonizes to form thickets and looks best when planted en masse.

    Outstanding fall color.
