Another fine addition from brother Tim, this is the Scorpion Senna that I planted in the brick bed next to the front porch. I would guess I\u2019ve had this plant at least fifteen years. It grows as a leggy, twiggy shrub that has delicate pinnate leaves and brilliant, clean yellow flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut this shrub back hard after flowering\u2013down to 3-4 feet tall. It wants to soar a lot taller than I can accommodate which creates a bit of tension, but we\u2019re muddling through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
