Lemonade berry sumac is a rugged, drought-tolerant shrub native to the desert Southwest, valued for its aromatic foliage and wildlife value. Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained or rocky soil, as it is highly adaptable once established. It requires very little supplemental water and is an excellent choice for low-water native and xeriscape landscapes.
