A Staghorn Sumac Unlike Any Other
Rhus typhina, commonly known as Staghorn Sumac, is a native throughout the Eastern United States. It survives in the most inhospitable conditions and grows into large weed-inhibiting masses by suckering. In 2004, Bailey Nursery in Minnesota introduced a new Staghorn Sumac that is unlike any other - Tiger Eyes. Unlike other Staghorn Sumacs, Tiger Eyes is compact and slow spreading, making it a valuable addition to the garden.

Tiger Eyes is medium-sized shrub with lacy, fern-like foliage. The leaves start out as bright chartreuse green in color but soon change to a brilliant yellow. It is this gorgeous foliage that has caused overwhelming popularity around the world. The fuzzy light purple branches offer a beautiful contrast to the bright yellow leaves. The branches are angled upward while the leaves hang down resulting in an Oriental feel. The fall show of color is as spectacular as any deciduous shrub. Beginning in mid-October the foliage turns from yellow to a scarlet-orange and then to velvet red. Tiger Eyes matures at an average height of six feet with an equal spread.
Tiger Eyes is refined enough to be used as an accent specimen. Combines beautifully in the garden with maroon-leaved Black Lace Elderberry and blu-flowering Nepeta (catmint). Once established, it is tough enough to survive incredible drought and neglect. It is hard to conceive of a shrub that will tolerate more abuse and still survive. Excellent used in masses on large, steep, dry banks where nothing else will survive.
