| Botanical Name | Senna polyphylla |
| Description | A Texas favorite for its fine-textured foliage and prolific yellow flowers. While it loves the intense Houston summer heat, it is highly sensitive to "wet feet." In areas with heavy clay, it is essential to plant in raised beds or amend the soil significantly to ensure the sharp drainage this desert native requires. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 6-10' H x 6-10' W |
| Water | Low once established; do not overwater. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
