1 Live Plant Red Buckeye Aesculus pavia Bare Root 16+ Inches

Red Buckeye is a deciduous North American native shrub or small tree admired for its upright clusters of red tubular flowers that appear in spring, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators to the landscape. Its glossy palmate leaves and smooth buckeye seeds add seasonal interest, making it a standout ornamental choice for native plant gardens, woodland edges, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Red Buckeye works well as a specimen planting, in mixed borders, or along naturalized woodland edges where its early-season bloom brings color before many other plants awaken. It grows at a moderate rate, typically developing a rounded, multi-stemmed habit, and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils with some protection from intense afternoon sun in hotter zones. The seeds are a traditional craft and ornamental item, though they are not intended for consumption. This bare-root plant ships dormant and establishes readily when planted in suitable conditions.
