Sumac

Sumac shrubs provide intriguing visuals throughout most of the year. Large flower clusters in spring are followed by brilliantly colored fall foliage in orange, flame red, and burgundy. The flower clusters produce berrylike drupes that turn red in autumn and last well into winter where they serve as tasty snacks for wildlife. Gardeners often choose sumac because it tolerates a wide range of soil types—as long as it's not poorly drained. Saturated soil may lead to root rot. Plant sumac in full sun. Some species tolerate part shade, but limited exposure to sunlight may lead to looser plant habits and muted coloring.

Tiger Eyes Staghorn is a beautiful golden-leafed form of Sumac. New growth is a lively chartreuse green, quickly changing to yellow which contrast nicely with the rosy-pink leaf stems. The branches angle upward while the deeply cut leaves drape downward.
