    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Few plants can bring color to the fall garden like the Winter Cassia! Clusters of butterfly-like creamy yellow 1" blooms that are edged in white are born in October-November on this large arching tree-like shrub or root hardy perennial. Butter Cream Cassia may freeze to ground in the northern portions of its range but it quick to return in spring. A rare creamy-yellow colored selection developed by Patrick Worley. Winter Cassia has the potential to reseed and may be considered invasive in some areas. Deadhead to prevent reseeding. Be sure to consult your state and local agriculture offices before planting. Sometimes called the Butterfly Bush or Christmas Senna, this durable plant is considered to be moderately drought tolerant and deer resistant.
