Senna hebecarpa
Wild Senna

  • This tall native perennial has broad pinnate leaves and bright yellow summer flowers.

  • Its long black seed pods remain through winter, adding an ornamental element.

  • Prefers full sun but can tolerate a wide variety of soil conditions. Too much moisture and richness may cause wild senna to flop over.

  • It is more common in pastures and meadows than it is in the garden.

  • Drought tolerant.
