Common nameStaghorn sumac 'Tiger Eyes'
FamilyAnacardiaceae
TypeShrub
Botanical nameRhus typhina Tiger Eyes

Rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes' is a horticultural selection of sumac, remarkable for its finely cut chartreuse to golden yellow foliage, which turns flamboyant orangey-red in autumn. Its rounded, open, and sculptural habit, combined with thick, velvety branches, gives it a graphic presence all year round. More compact and less suckering than the species type, it is well suited for ornamental beds, rockeries, small gardens, or containers. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, it prefers a sunny exposure to maximize foliage color, in well-drained soil. 'Tiger Eyes' combines fine texture, vibrant hues, and an elegant habit, bringing a bright and natural touch to landscape designs.
