Philadelphia botanist and plant explorer William Bartram first discovered this handsome shrub of the southeastern United States during his travels in Carolina, Georgia, and Florida in 1773-78; a specimen, believed planted by William, still grew in the Bartram's nursery in 1930. John Fraser introduced the shrub to England in 1785; by 1820, the bottlebrush buckeye was "to be met with in most of our nurseries" in Great Britain. It has outstanding spring and autumn foliage color and is very attractive to butterflies.
