Caesalpinia gilliesii is an open, airy shrub known for its lacy, fern-like leaves and vibrant yellow flowers with long red stamens. Ideal for hedges, screens, and as an accent specimen. Excellent for desert conditions, and high-heat areas. Best in full sun. Needs at least 6 hours for best flowering. It has moderate to low water needs; very drought tolerant once established, though occasional summer water helps growth. Prefers well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils but is highly adaptable to poor soils. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 10°F.
