Senna splendida 'Ray's Splendor' (Golden Wonder Senna) - A small tree to 10 to 15 feet tall with 1inch wide pale yellow flowers the winter. This great small tree was given to us by Ray Sodomka as Cassia splendida. This tree is very different from what is grown by Monrovia Nursery as Golden Wonder Senna (Senna splendida). Our plant has smaller foliage and flowers and does not suffer adversely from winter temperatures like the larger flowering Golden Wonder Senna which nearly defoliates and yellows durring winter. Several people have suggested that our plant is Cassia bicapsularis or Cassia tomentosa but we have grown both of these plants in the past and 'Ray's Splendor' is distinctly different.
The information about Senna splendida 'Ray's Splendor' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
