Although the 8”-12” panicles of white, showy flowers produced by Bottlebrush Buckeye look like they might be well-suited to scrubbing out your water bottle (which probably could use it, if you're being honest with yourself), they’re put to much better use in your garden attracting all kinds of insects when they bloom in August. The particularly long flower panicles of 'Rogers' droop beautifully when they are saturated by summer rain, and in the fall the foliage turns yellow.
