Red Horse Chestnut Seeds, sourced from the splendid Aesculus carnea, offer gardeners in the UK an opportunity to cultivate a tree renowned for its striking floral display and robust stature. This hybrid, known for its vibrant pink to red flower clusters, is a cross between the common Horse Chestnut and the Red Buckeye.

It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a tree with ornamental appeal and practical benefits. The Red Horse Chestnut is adaptable to various soil types, thriving best in well-drained, fertile soils. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is resistant to the leaf miner, a common pest in its Horse Chestnut parent.

The tree’s compact and rounded form makes it suitable for both small and large garden spaces. Its glossy, dark green leaves, which turn a rich yellow in autumn, add to its year-round interest.

Natural Germination: Red Horse Chestnut seeds typically require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. Planting the seeds outdoors in autumn allows them to undergo natural cold conditions, promoting germination in spring.

Artificial Stratification: For controlled germination, place the seeds in a moist substrate and refrigerate for about 2-3 months. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions.
