Shredded Sumac • Rhus typhina laciniata 
To our mind this is one of the prettiest shrubs that we grow, with large, red, cone-shaped 
flowers protruding from the ends of the branches, flanked by large, green, shredded leaves. 
Flowers turn to red seeds and remain on the branches most of the winter, lending a rugged, 
picturesque appearance to the winter landscape. The shredded foliage is an added attraction 
throughout the summer, turning to brilliant red in autumn. Grows to a height of 8 feet in any soil.

Smoke Tree • Rhus cotinus 
An odd-sounding name for a plant, but it’s true. 
The flower panicles are grayish lavender, so large 
and fluffy that even at a slight distance the bush 
resembles a fleecy, smoky cloud. This shrub is so 
unusual and outstanding that you will want several 
for border and specimen plants. Grows to a height 
of 12 feet under average soil conditions. Each

Crush a leaf and inhale the pungent aroma from 
which the plant takes its name. This shrub will 
grow and thrive under any soil condition. Grows 
about 4 feet high and globular in shape.

shaped flowers. Truly one of the aristocrats of 
the plant kingdom. Grows 6 feet high and makes 
a fine specimen or border plant. Very much
