Product Description
Cassia corymbosa, commonly known as the golden senna or butterfly bush, is a charming flowering shrub that belongs to the Fabaceae family. Native to Brazil, this plant is celebrated for its brilliant yellow flowers and attractive appearance.
Cassia corymbosa is a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub that typically reaches heights of 3 to 6 feet (0.9 to 1.8 meters). It features a dense, bushy growth habit with pinnately compound leaves. The leaves consist of small, oval-shaped leaflets, each with a glossy, deep green color, creating an appealing backdrop for the plant's striking blossoms.
What truly sets Cassia corymbosa apart is its profusion of bright yellow flowers. These blossoms are characterized by five distinct petals and are showcased in terminal clusters or corymbs, giving rise to the plant's specific epithet "corymbosa." The flowering period typically occurs during the warm months, often in late spring through summer. The abundant display of golden-yellow flowers not only adds vibrancy to the landscape but also serves as a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
As the flowering season wanes, Cassia corymbosa may develop elongated seed pods that eventually turn brown when they mature. These pods contain small seeds and contribute to the shrub's overall ornamental appeal.
Cassia corymbosa is known for its adaptability and ease of care, making it a favored choice among gardeners looking to introduce a burst of color and beauty to their gardens and landscapes. It can thrive in a range of soil conditions and is suitable for various climates, often found in tropical and subtropical regions.
Whether planted as a standalone specimen or incorporated into mixed garden beds and borders, Cassia corymbosa adds a touch of sunshine with its radiant yellow blossoms and brings joy to outdoor spaces with its stunning display of color and vitality.
