5 Seeds Winter Cassia Cassia bicapsularis Yellow Flower Shrub

Winter Cassia is a tropical to subtropical shrub known for its bright yellow blooms that appear in cooler months, adding color when many other plants are dormant. It grows with a loose, open habit and fine-textured foliage, making it a useful accent in mixed borders or as a seasonal container specimen where winters are cold.

This shrub is often grown ornamentally for its showy yellow flowers and its ability to provide late-season interest in frost-free gardens. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and it can be pruned to maintain shape or kept in a large container and moved indoors during cold spells.
