Desert Senna 20 Seeds Cassia covesii

Cassia covesii, commonly known as desert senna or Cove's cassia, is a low-growing, drought-tolerant shrub native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This hardy perennial typically reaches 1 to 3 feet in height and is prized for its bright yellow, five-petaled flowers that bloom profusely in spring and early summer, often attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its gray-green, pinnate leaves are adapted to conserve water, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping and desert gardens. Cassia covesii thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and requires little maintenance once established. Its resilience to heat, poor soils, and dry conditions makes it an ideal ornamental for natural landscapes and habitat restoration in desert environments.
