Zornia diphylla, commonly known as Jumby Bean or Two-Leaf Zornia, is a perennial herb native to tropical regions in Asia. It is typically found in open grasslands, savannas, and disturbed areas, often thriving in poor soils. This plant grows at a moderate rate to a height and width of 0.5-1 feet (0.15-0.3 meters). Zornia diphylla is characterized by its compound leaves, which consist of two leaflets, and its bright yellow, pea-like flowers that bloom in the summer and fall, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite showy when in full bloom.

Jumby Bean is valued for its drought tolerance and is often used in xeriscaping, a landscaping method that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation. It is also utilized as a ground cover or for erosion control due to its ability to establish quickly and form dense mats. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to part shade and thrives in medium or fast-draining sandy or loamy soils. While it requires medium amounts of water, it can tolerate periods of drought once established. Gardeners should be aware that Zornia diphylla can become potentially invasive outside its native range, so it is important to check local regulations before planting.CC BY-SA 4.0
