Stag's Horn Sumach 'Tiger Eyes'

'Tiger Eyes' is a dwarf stag's horn producing shocking red foliage in autumn. This shrub is highly toxic. The Sumach spreads via suckering shoots so remove any that appear from the base of the plant. It is particularly noted for the reddish-brown hairs that cover the young branches in somewhat the same way that velvet covers the horns of a stag, hence the common name.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Rhus is happy in sun or part shade and moist but well drained soil. Give this plant lots of room as it likes to spread its wings. It also puts out suckers and can soon take over a corner of the garden. To restrict growth and spread, plant in a large container which can then be sunk into the garden bed. Water frequently in dry weather, especially during its first year.
