Growing to about 6 feet tall and wide, ‘Tiger Eyes’ has a rounded growth habit and fine, lacy leaves that emerge chartreuse green then turn yellow. Its fuzzy branches are a rosy pink/purple. If this weren’t enough color, the foliage of ‘Tiger Eyes’ turns a dramatic combination of yellow, orange and scarlet in the fall. The long graceful yellow leaves and fine texture would be a spectacular centerpiece in an island bed, or knee-deep with blue asters in the fall. Grow in full sun to light shade. Tolerates dry, infertile soils. Zone 4.
3 gallon.
