Aesculus indica, commonly known as the Indian Horse Chestnut, is a lovely spreading tree. It produces large sprays of white flowers which are spotted with yellow and flushed with pink through summer.

Aesculus indica is commonly grown as a shade tree, used in avenue and park plantings, grown as a specimen, or incorporated into a mixed planting in a large garden.
