Cassia

Cassia plants, or candlestick bush (Senna spp.), produce evergreen foliage and seasonal yellow flowers. These low-maintenance plants grow well in garden beds in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, or you can enjoy them as large potted plants outdoors or inside. A mature cassia plant can reach 5 feet or taller, although container plants usually remain smaller. Cassia makes an easy care addition to beds, borders and butterfly gardens.
