The ‘Tiger Eyes’ is a truly striking plant with so much to offer. The large, fern-like leaves are bright yellow-green in colour with attractive pink stems. Autumn is when the finely-divided foliage really bursts to life as it turns to a fiery mound of deep orange and red. This ‘stag’s horn sumach’ maintains a fairly compact habit, making this an excellent choice for adding structure and colour to a border. It is a wonderful architectural plant and it will certainly become a focal point of any display. To get the best out of this shrub, plant it in full sunlight.
