Looking to add bold color and hardy structure to your high desert landscape? In this video, we highlight two standout sumacs perfect for Northern Nevada gardens: Tiger Eye Sumac and Gro-Low Sumac. Both thrive in our challenging high desert climate with minimal water once established, making them drought-friendly choices that deliver year after year.
Tiger Eye Sumac brings striking chartreuse foliage that transforms into blazing orange, scarlet, and gold in fall — a true showstopper in any xeric design.
Gro-Low Sumac is a fast-growing groundcover variety that helps with erosion control, adds lush green texture, and puts on a stunning red-orange autumn display.
These resilient plants are not only tough but also incredibly beautiful, making them a must-have for water-wise, high desert landscapes.
