+'''''Aesculus pavia''''', known as '''Red Buckeye''' or '''Firecracker Plant''', is a species of [[deciduous]] [[flowering plant]]. The small tree or shrub is native to the southern and eastern parts of the [[United States]], found from [[Illinois]] to [[Virginia]] in the north and from [[Texas]] to [[Florida]] in the south.
-| name = Aesculus pavia
-| common_names = Red Buckeye
+It has a number of local names, such as scarlet buckeye, woolly buckeye and firecracker plant.
-| growth_habit = bulky shrub/small tree
-| high = 15 m
+The Red Buckeye is a large [[shrub]] or small [[tree]]. It reaches a height of 5-8 m, often growing in a multi-stemmed form. Its leaves are opposite, and are usually composed of five elliptical serrated leaflets, each 10-15 cm long. It bears 10-17 cm long clusters of attractive dark red tubular flowers, each in April to May. The flowers are [[hermaphrodite]]. The smooth light brown fruits, about 3 cm in diameter, reach maturity in September and October.
-| wide =     <!--- 65cm (25 inches) -->
-| origin = E USA
+There are two [[variety (biology)|varieties]]:
-| poisonous = seeds toxic
+*''Aesculus pavia'' var. ''pavia'': typical Red Buckeye.
-| lifespan = perennial
+*''Aesculus pavia'' var. ''flavescens'': yellow-flowered Red Buckeye.
-| exposure = full sun
-| water =     <!--- frequent, regular, drought tolerant, let dry then soak -->
+The yellow-flowered variety, ''var. flavescens'', is found in higher country in Texas, and [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrids]] with intermediate flower color occur.
-| features =     <!--- flowers, fragrance, naturalizes, invasive -->
-| hardiness =     <!--- frost sensitive, hardy, 5[[Celsius|°C]], etc -->
+The flowers are attractive to [[hummingbird]]s as well as [[bee]]s. The fruits are rich in [[saponin]]s, which are poisonous to humans, though not particularly dangerous because they are not easily ingested. The oils can be extracted to make [[soap]], though this is not commercially viable.
-| bloom =     <!--- seasons which the plant blooms, if it is grown for its flowers -->
-| usda_zones =     <!--- eg. 8-11 -->
+Ornamental [[cultivar]]s such as the low-growing 'Humilis' have been selected for garden use.
-| sunset_zones = 3-9, 14-24, 30-34
-| color = IndianRed
+Red Buckeye has hybridized with Common Horse-chestnut (''[[Aesculus hippocastanum]]'') in cultivation, the hybrid being named ''[[Aesculus × carnea]]'', Red Horse-chestnut. The hybrid is a medium-size tree to 20-25 m tall, intermediate between the parent species in most respects, but inheriting the red flower color from ''A. pavia''. It is a popular tree in large [[garden]]s and [[park]]s, most commonly the selected [[cultivar]] 'Briotii'. Hybrids of Red Buckeye with [[Yellow Buckeye]] (''A. flava'') have also been found, and named ''Aesculus × hybrida''.
