5 Seeds Cassia tora Sickle Senna Yellow Flower Plant

Cassia tora, commonly called sickle senna, is an annual leguminous plant grown for its bright yellow blossoms and distinctive curved seed pods. It offers a fast-growing, airy texture that works well in warm-season beds, wildflower areas, and traditional garden settings. Its fine foliage and cheerful flowers make it an easy choice for gardeners seeking an informal, natural look.

Often used as an ornamental annual and in cottage or meadow-style plantings, Cassia tora grows quickly from seed in warm conditions and produces small yellow flowers followed by slender, sickle-shaped pods. It tolerates poor, dry soils and full sun, making it a low-maintenance option for borders, filler plantings, and seasonal color. Seeds can be direct-sown after the last frost or started earlier indoors with warmth.
