Rhus Typhinia Tiger Eyes Litre 20 Litre Pot 140/150cm Tall

Rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes' (commonly known as Staghorn Sumac 'Tiger Eyes') is a striking, deciduous shrub known for its dramatic, colourful foliage and architectural form. Growing to about 1.5 to 2.5 metres (5-8 feet) in height and spread, it’s a compact, slow-growing variety that is perfect for small UK gardens.

Key Features:

• Foliage: The finely divided, fern-like leaves emerge a bright chartreuse yellow in spring, maturing to a more golden yellow in summer, and turning vibrant shades of orange, red, and scarlet in autumn, offering multi-seasonal interest. The stems and branches are a contrasting rosy-pink, adding further ornamental value.
• Growth Habit: This variety has a compact, spreading habit, with distinctive branches that create a bold architectural shape. Its stems are hairy, resembling the antlers of a stag, giving it the name 'Staghorn'.
• Flowers & Fruit: In midsummer, greenish-yellow flowers may appear, followed by red, cone-shaped fruit clusters that persist into winter, adding further seasonal interest.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Thrives in full sun, which helps bring out the most intense leaf colour, though it can tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils. It is adaptable to most soil types, including poor or dry soils, and is drought-tolerant once established.
• Watering: Requires regular watering while establishing but is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once mature.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK, it withstands cold winters and is suitable for a wide range of climates.

Landscape Uses:

'Tiger Eyes' is perfect for mixed borders, containers, or as a specimen plant where its vibrant foliage can take centre stage. It also works well in wildlife gardens, attracting birds and insects to its flowers and fruit. Its bold autumn colours make it a popular choice for adding seasonal drama to the garden.

This sumac cultivar is relatively low-maintenance and easy to grow, making it ideal for gardeners looking to add bold colour and texture to their landscape
