5 Seeds Cassia auriculata Tanners Cassia Senna Auriculata Flowering Shrub

Cassia auriculata, commonly known as Tanners Cassia, is a flowering shrub or small tree valued for its bright yellow blossoms and feathery green foliage. It brings a warm, tropical look to gardens and landscapes, and its blooms add seasonal color that stands out against the fine-textured leaves. This species is appreciated by growers for its adaptable nature and its ability to serve as an attractive ornamental in warm-climate plantings.
In the garden, Cassia auriculata works well as a specimen shrub, a flowering hedge, or a background accent in mixed borders. The yellow flowers appear in showy clusters, and the plant develops long seed pods after blooming. It can be grown in containers when young and moved outdoors in suitable climates, and it fits naturally into pollinator-friendly and low-water landscape designs.
