Aesculus parviflora
Bottlebrush Buckeye Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Though rarely found in the wild, Bottlebrush Buckeye is a large suckering shrub native to moist woodlands of the southeastern coastal plain. In cultivation, given average to moist soil and full sun to part shade, Bottlebrush Buckeye forms a handsome dense suckering shrub colony 10 feet by 10 feet. Typical buckeye leaves are topped in early to mid summer with masses of creamy white flower spikes, each one10 inches long and 4 inches wide. The flower display is outstanding and fall color is often a good yellow. Give this shrub plenty of room as a specimen planting or locate it at a moist wood's edge. When grown in more shade, its aspect will be more open and wispy, and flowering will be quite subtle, but still the effect is beautiful. Cat# 1005
