Aesculus pavia

Aesculus pavia

Red Buckeye

Short tree or shrub, usually single-stemmed, open habit. Fast-growing on rich, moist soils. In April, its pikes of showy red flowers are pollinated by ruby-throated hummingbirds. The palmate leaves offer great texture but the foliage drops naturally in late summer. Brown, egg-shaped fruit in the fall. A good accent plant for large shaded areas, especially when planted in small groves.
