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.
The information that is presented on this page is based on research we have conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations we have made of it in the nursery's garden and in other gardens we have visited, as well how it performs in our nursery crops out in the field. We incorporate comments that we receive from others as well and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they know of cultural information that would aid others in growing Senna splendida 'Ray's Splendor'. |
