Quick Overview:

Aesculus parviflora. commonly called bottlebrush buckeye, is noted for being one of the best summer-flowering shrubs for shade areas. It is a dense, mounded, suckering, deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub which typically grows 6-12′ tall. Features palmate green leaves (5-7 leaflets) and erect, showy, cylindrical panicles (to 12″ long) of tubular white flowers with conspicuous red anthers and pinkish filaments. Mid-summer bloom can be spectacular. Flowers give way to glossy inedible, pear-shaped nuts (buckeyes) encased in husks.  Foliage turns yellow in autumn.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
