Feathery Cassia
Synonym: Cassia artemisioides. This rounded, evergreen shrub has silver-grey needlelike foliage known as phyllodes.
Native to Australia, it produces masses of
bright yellow pea-like flowers in the early
spring. The flowers are followed by brown
papery seedpods that persist on the plant.
Due to the small size of the leaves, it may
be sheared once flowering has ceased, or
informally pruned to control growth.
Normal size is 6 to 8 feet in height and
width. Plant in full sun, reflected heat and
provide good drainage.
