First Editions® Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac Hedge

Your landscape needs color and the Tiger Eyes® Sumac is pure color all growing season! Want an easy way to get all that color delivered to your door? Then you need the First Editions® Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac Hedge Multi-Pack PP16185 (Rhus typhina 'Bailtiger')! You'll love every nuance of the color.

As magnificent as the summer colors are, the dramatic impact of the yellow, orange, and intense scarlet in autumn are unparalleled! This is a showy plant that gets noticed, and therefore is the perfect show-stopper for high-impact landscaping! Everything about it stands out, including the gentle interplay between the branches, which angle upward and the deeply cut leaflets, which drape downward and have an exotic flair all their own.

Tiger Eyes® Sumac is hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 8, and these are highly adaptable, deciduous shrubs that look positively tropical! Perfect pollinator and cottage garden plants, you'll love this easy instant hedge that arrives at your door straight from our Nursery! Available for shipping in groups of 3, 8, and 16, so you will be able to conveniently get all your shrubs shipped at the appropriate time they are ready for planting in your growing zone.

Planting and Application:

Plant Sumac in rows or groupings for an incredible presence in your yard or in a naturalized area. Perfect plants for slopes and en masse plantings that help slow rainwater runoff and slow erosion, while preventing you from having to deal with hard-to-mow locations, while it lights up the entire landscape with its color! It's wonderful when you can let it spread the way it wants. You'll create banks of color and privacy, as well as bird-friendly screening all growing season!

Their tolerance of moist soils to dry sites, once established, means these hedge packs can become easy backdrops to your Rain Gardens and Rock Gardens alike!

Choose these easy starter packs to create the hedge your landscape has been missing! For a privacy hedge that provides seclusion, plant close row that grows together to create a solid continuous band of coverage, use 3-4 shrubs for every 10-foot-long hedge, plant in a straight row or a zig-zag about 2 ½ feet on center (measuring from the center of one shrub to the center of the next).

Or, create a more informally spaced hedge by extending your spacing. Form an allée around a BBQ or section-off a seating area from the rest of the yard and entertain in style! Group Sumac in clusters 3-6 feet apart for naturalized clumps that will spread to fill in an entire area, readily forming thickets that are perfect havens for wildlife and songbirds!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Tiger Eyes® Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac has no significant pest or disease issues, and deer usually won't bother this shrub unless desperate. This plant is very adaptable to most soils that are well-drained and they appreciate a layer of mulch for insulation and moisture retention. While it's a young plant, you'll need to provide moderate water to establish it in a location where it can bask in full sun or partial shade. Once its roots have been established in your native soil, the plant becomes tolerant of dry or wet soils. This is a set-it-and-forget-it plant. It even thrives in clay soils!

The only task you'll need to do is pruning. Prune this non-aggressive Sumac in early spring. You can even cut back the plants right to the ground. This allows new shoots to develop from the roots. This refreshes the plant. It will respond quickly reaching 3-4 feet in the very first season after being cut off.

If you are maintaining your Tiger Eyes® as a colony, you can keep it fresh and vigorous with great color if you remove 1/3 of the largest, oldest branches to the ground in early spring. You'll do this each year for 3 years. This is called Renewal Pruning and it gives you a steady supply of young, full shoots.

• Tolerates Most Well-Drained Soil Types - Including Clay
• Disease, Pest & Mostly Deer Resistant
