We have planted three Bahama Senna plants in the same general area. They seem to do quite well in medium to moderate shade. During mid summer in bright sunshine there was very little branch growth. It is now October and the plants are growing very well with a lot of flower buds getting ready to open. A real pretty bush/shrub/tree with lots of possibilities. We live in Zone 9A.
