Easter Cassia


Photo: Sheldon Navie		Easter Cassia Senna pendula var. glabrata Trees and Shrubs Queensland Dry Tropics Region

	A showy evergreen scrambling shrub that can reach 3m in height. The compound leaves are mid green and rounded at the tip. The flowers are bright yellow and form a spectacular show as they completely cover the foliage in Autumn. Cylindrical green pods follow with abundance of persistent seeds.

HOW IT SPREADS Seeds are spread by birds, insects, water and gravity. The plentiful seed ensures that even those that fall close to the bush maintain the invasive population.
