Senna hebecarpa
Light green, locust-like pinnate leaves give a soft texture but the stems of this native are very sturdy. Vivid sweet pea flowers develop into pretty seed pods. Lovely in both wild or ‘civilized’ gardens, and it is the perfect ‘parking lot plant’ as it can take the abuse of snowplows, salt, drought, etc. Bright yellow flowers appear between July and September.
