Silver Senna, also known as Silver Cassia

Silver Senna is characterized by its evergreen nature and feathery, light gray-green pinnate leaves, or phyllodes, giving it a delicate appearance. It exhibits a rounded form typically ranging from 4 to 6 feet tall (120 to 180 cm) with clusters of fragrant, yellow, pea-like flowers that bloom with a peak from late winter to spring. The plant's fruiting phase includes flattened pea pods that transition from lime green to dark brown. This shrub thrives in full sun and well-draining soil conditions, with occasional to sparse watering needs, highlighting its drought tolerance. Leaves are comparatively small, which can be informally pruned after flowering has occurred.
