THE Dwarf Red Buckeye
About
the Dwarf Red Buckeye :
The Dwarf Red Buckeye tree, Aesculus pavia, is one
of the first plants in the woodland to reawaken in
spring. The Red Buckeye trees starts sending out
tender new leaves as early as February, up to a
month before the surrounding oaks and maples show
any sign of renewed life. Red buckeye’s lavish
carmine flowers come early, too, and are an
important source of food for hummingbirds in the
months before most other plants are in flower.
This deciduous tree is a wonderful little tree to
plant at the edge of a woodland garden, near a
patio, or as the focal point at the curve of a path.
It is especially pretty when underplanted with early
spring wildflowers. Its large, drooping, dark green
leaves provide plenty of interest throughout the
growing season. The lush foliage also provides
excellent cover for songbirds. Red buckeye should be
recommended to all impatient gardeners, because it
brings instant gratification: It starts blooming
when it is just 3 feet tall. It is known for its
deep crimson flowers borne in early summer. It is
easy to grow. |
