Senna splendida 'Ray's Splendor' (Golden Wonder Senna) - A small tree to 10 to 15 feet tall with 1inch wide pale yellow flowers the winter. This great small tree was given to us by Ray Sodomka as Cassia splendida. This tree is very different from what is grown by Monrovia Nursery as Golden Wonder Senna (Senna splendida). Our plant has smaller foliage and flowers and does not suffer adversely from winter temperatures like the larger flowering Golden Wonder Senna which nearly defoliates and yellows durring winter. Several people have suggested that our plant is Cassia bicapsularis or Cassia tomentosa but we have grown both of these plants in the past and 'Ray's Splendor' is distinctly different.
Information displayed on this page about Senna splendida 'Ray's Splendor' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
