Rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes' (staghorn sumac 'Tiger Eyes') is grown for its finely cut, glowing foliage that emerges chartreuse, matures to bright yellow-gold, and finishes the season with orange to scarlet tones. You get bold color and texture without flowers needing to be the main show.

Give it full sun for the brightest leaf color, though it will also perform in part shade. At maturity it typically forms a broad, upright shrub or small tree, reaching about 10-12 feet tall with a wide, mounded outline. Use it as a specimen, in a mixed border, or as a colorful screen where you have room for its spread.

This sumac is adaptable and handles a range of soils once established, including lean or dry sites. Water regularly the first season to build roots, then water during extended drought. It is drought tolerant after establishment and can tolerate urban conditions.

Like other staghorn sumacs, it may send up shoots from the roots. If you want to limit colony growth, remove unwanted suckers promptly and consider using a root barrier in tight spaces. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape, remove dead wood, and keep the plant full and vigorous.
