Aesculus carnea 'Briotii'

A stunning ornamental tree with deep pink flowers and bold foliage for lasting garden impact

Aesculus carnea ‘Briotii’ is a magnificent hybrid Horse Chestnut, celebrated for its large panicles of deep rosy‑red flowers that appear in late spring. These vibrant blooms contrast beautifully against the rich green, palmate leaves, creating a striking display that draws attention in any garden or landscape setting.

Compact and rounded in form, ‘Briotii’ is smaller and tidier than the common Horse Chestnut, making it ideal for medium‑sized gardens, avenue planting, or as a specimen tree. Its flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, while the tree’s robust nature ensures reliable performance in Irish conditions.
