The bottlebrush buckeye is known for its long, white flowers that appear in the summertime and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. It is a thick, mounding variety that grows 8-12' tall and 10-15' wide. Its large, green foliage adds a striking contrast against the long, white flowers.
The 'Summer Gold' variety is known for its bright green foliage that is variegated with yellow margins. Foliage turns brilliant red with yellow-orange margins in the fall. This small tree will slowly reach 8-10' tall and 4-6' wide, but has been known to reach 15' tall and wide when planted in ideal conditions. Creamy white flowers emerge in the spring.
