Recently I was made aware of a beautiful annual pollinator called a Cassia (I think). I was amused to find it smells just like buttered popcorn. At any rate, the gardener I talked to offered me a couple of pods for next spring. I'm big in to pollinator plants but really know very little about how to use these pods? Do I dry them out or just what.
Thank you for your time,
