A big bold presence

NAME: 'Roger' bottlebrush buckeye (aesculus 'Roger')
Zone: 5 to 9
Size: Up to 10 feet tall and 15 feet wide

CONDITIONS: Full sun to partial shade; moist, well- drained soil


Bottle brush buckeye has early-summer spikes of creamy white flowers atop graceful
layers of green leaves that turn gold in autumn. 'Rogers' flowers a couple of weeks later
than the species and is noted of its spectacular flower spikes, which can be 30 inches or
more in length. This enthusiastic grower spreads by root suckers.
