Wild Senna, Senna Hebecarpa - Seeds

$4.00

$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)

A stunning plant that is visually distinctive in the garden.  Later the pea like seed pods are very attractive. It is in the legume family so it will fix nitrogen in the soil. 

Type: Perennial, native to Ontario

Height: 4-5'

Light: full sun

Soil: rich loam to sandy loam

Water: likes a moister soil but apparently can withstand drier conditions.

Bloom time: late summer, August

Planting: Cold, moist stratification required - see options in photos, courtesy of Northern Wildflowers. Seeds need to be scarified (rubbed between sandpaper to break the coat a bit_ then they need a period of cold, moist stratification.  

Wild life support: Offers pollen later in the season for bees looking to supply their larvae with food.  Loved by many different types of bees but mainly visited by bumble bees in my garden.
