One of the showiest of our North American native plants, the Red Buckeye produces numerous upward-facing 10-in. long panicles of brilliant, scarlet red tubular flowers that much resemble those of red Salvia. The ruby-throated hummingbirds, who love and feed from the flowers, will thank you for planting this one because the emergence of the flowers occurs at the same time as their arrival in mid-spring. The attractive and shiny, large, palmate leaves add a bold and unique texture in the garden.
