'Nana' Ohio buckeye (Aesculus glabra 'Nana') is a shrub for pollinator gardens and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide in an oval shape at a moderate pace. Greenish-yellow, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies.
