Cassia is a group of tropical and subtropical flowering trees and shrubs known for their showy yellow blooms and attractive foliage. The name is commonly used for several plants now classified in the genera Cassia and Senna, so characteristics can vary by type. Some varieties are fast-growing and drought tolerant once established, making them useful as colorful landscape specimens.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring if needed
