About the Plant

This plant is an evergreen shrub. This means it stays green all year round. It can grow to be about one meter (or about three feet) tall. You can grow Senna corymbosa in places with a temperate climate. This is because it can handle a little bit of frost, meaning it's somewhat frost-hardy.
For this plant to grow well, it needs the right kind of soil. It prefers soil that is loamy (a mix of sand, silt, and clay) and peaty (rich in decayed plant matter). Gardeners can grow new Senna corymbosa plants from cuttings. These are small pieces of the plant that are put into sand. They need to be kept warm and protected, often in a glasshouse (which is another name for a greenhouse). If you live in the Northern Hemisphere (the top half of the Earth), this plant usually blooms in July.
