Description

The Red Buckeye (Aesculus pavia) is a showy, small deciduous tree or large shrub that brings early-season color and ecological benefits to any landscape. In early to mid-spring, it produces striking clusters of tubular red flowers, which attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Its lush, dark green palmate leaves provide a tropical-like appearance through summer before turning yellow-green in fall.

Growing 10-20 feet tall and wide, the Red Buckeye is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, woodland edges, and understory plantings. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and can tolerate partial shade, making it well-suited for naturalized landscapes. While it produces small, shiny buckeye nuts in late summer, these are toxic if ingested, so the tree is best admired for its ornamental beauty and wildlife appeal.

Resilient to disease, deer browsing, and urban pollution, the Red Buckeye is a low-maintenance tree that adds color, texture, and seasonal interest to any garden.
