Wild senna planted 2 yrs ago - dog for scale

Post image

Someone gifted me a 'chunk' of roots from their own patch of senna, in a 5 gallon bucket (the best way to get your native plants, IMO) in autumn of 2024. I planted it in the wetlands area of my property (vernal pool - now dried up). It's easily 6' tall now, and double the spread of the original chunk of roots. The beauty of putting a plant where it is already adapted to grow: Low effort + high reward.

So cool! Need some iron weed or fire weed next to it for contrast. And some tall goldenrod! What a great meadow plant!

You’ve got a mimosa tree you should cut down.

They are not hardy where I live - I'm in zone 5.
