Sumac – Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn

Description

Tiger Eyes® is a beautiful golden-leafed form of cutleaf staghorn sumac. New growth is a lively chartreuse green that quickly changes to yellow with both colors contrasting nicely with the rosy-pink leaf stems. Branches angle upward while the deeply cut leaflets drape downward. As magnificent as the summer colors are, the dramatic effect of yellow, orange, and intense scarlet in autumn is unparalleled. Tiger Eyes® tolerates a wide range of soils and urban conditions, making it the perfect focal point or mass planting across landscapes.

This plant sends out runners that can become invasive if they are not plucked when young.
