Senna splendida, commonly known as Golden Wonder Senna, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to open woodlands and scrub areas in Brazil. It typically grows to a height of 15-18 feet (4.5-5.5 meters) and a width of 15 feet (4.5 meters). Golden Wonder Senna has a rounded form with pinnate leaves that are dark green and glossy, adding to its ornamental value. It produces bright yellow, showy flowers in clusters from late summer to winter, which are particularly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Golden Wonder Senna is valued for its drought tolerance and vibrant floral display, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and as an accent plant in tropical and subtropical gardens. It is also used for hedging and screening due to its dense foliage. In cultivation, it thrives in full sun and requires low amounts of water once established, preferring well-drained soils. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to pests such as aphids and caterpillars. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, and it should be handled with care to avoid skin irritation.CC BY-SA 4.0
