Buy Red Buckeye online. Red Buckeye, also known as Texas Red Buckeye, produces very showy clusters of bright red flowers in early to late spring. The leaves are quite unique and grow as 5 leaflet palmately compound, which emerge a bronzy red and later turn dark green. Best grown as a small multi-stem tree. Can grow quite large if left unpruned. It grows rather slowly so pruning once a year in spring after blooming works well to keep in bounds. Once mature, large, rounded, brown seed is produced. A very unique plant for any shade garden!
