A spring and summer vigorous, perennial legume to 40 cm high, it dies back in winter but self-sows prolifically. It is only suitable for subtropical and tropical areas, as it requires a summer rainfall to do well. It will recover from a light frost. In subtropical areas sow October-January; in tropical areas sow during the wet season. Wynn's cassia is not eaten by horses and is only moderately palatable to cattle.

Wynn's cassia is a perennial creeping legume; it is only suitable for subtropical and tropical areas, as it requires a summer rainfall to do well. It will recover from a light frost. It is spring- and summer-vigorous, dying back over winter. It can be short-lived in drier areas so allow to go to seed in autumn to regenerate the following spring. It is adapted to a wide range of soil types but does not tolerate waterlogging. It is useful as a 'living mulch' or nitrogen-fixing groundcover in orchards. Wynn's cassia is not eaten by horses and is only moderately palatable to cattle.
