Senna artemisioides

This is an evergreen shrub that grows up to 3 m (9.8 ft)  in height. It has grey-green pinnate leaves with between 1 and 8 pairs of leaflets. It produces an abundance of yellow “pea” flowers in winter and spring which are about 1.5 cm in diameter, followed by 2 to 7 cm long flat green pods which age to dark brown.
The species adapts to a wide range of climatic conditions, but is susceptible to frost, especially when young. It prefers dry, well-drained sites with full sun. As an ornamental plant, it is propagated readily from seed, which should first be briefly immersed in boiling water.This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Water moderately, allowing the top 3cm to dry out between watering.
