Buckeye Bottlebrush, also known as Aesculus parviflora, is a deciduous shrub that is native to the southeastern United States. It's known for its unique, bottlebrush-like white flowers in summer and its attractive, compound leaves. This plant typically grows to a height of 8-12 feet with a similar or slightly larger spread. It prefers full sun to part shade and thrives best in well-drained, moist, fertile soils. The Buckeye Bottlebrush is a great choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a specimen plant in the landscape. The flowers of the Buckeye Bottlebrush are white and appear in long, upright clusters in the summer. The leaves are compound and have a dark green color that turns yellow in the fall. It's important to note that all parts of the Buckeye Bottlebrush are toxic if ingested, so it should be planted in areas away from pets and children. Type: Shrub Origins: Southeast N.
