Pairs well with

A true, small-leaf, small-stature Fothergilla x intermedia from Tom Ranney and his team at NCSU. After trialing about a dozen of his selections, this was the clear winner in terms of vigor, flower power, and fall color. It produces an abundance of bottle brush-like white flowers, has a well-branched mounded habit, and small bluish-green leaves that turn an attractive blend of yellow, orange, and red in autumn.

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained to average soil. Space 4-5 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch generously.

Care Tips

Water consistently, especially the first 2–3 seasons. Once established it tolerates moderate drought and partial shade. Little pruning is needed. Remove any suckers that spread too far. Fertilize lightly in spring if desired. Legend Of The Small® is a compact selection of bottlebrush buckeye, offering all the ornamental appeal of the species- spectacular white bottlebrush flower spikes in midsummer, bold foliage, and vivid yellow fall color- in a far more manageable size. Largely pest-free.
