Patrinia are unassuming clump-forming perennial plants having thin, erect stems with few leaves and bearing a terminal inflorescence with yellow or white flowers. There are about 17 species native to grassy mountain habitats in China, Siberia and Japan.
Water:
Patrinia thrives in consistent moisture and prefers regular hydration, needing weekly watering. It benefits from natural rainfall in outdoor settings, but adequate drainage is essential in gardens or containers to prevent root rot during heavy rain.
Propagation:
Patrinia can be propagated via seed, division, or cuttings, with division being most common. Key factors include well-draining soil, moisture, and light exposure. Optimal division occurs in spring or fall, and care must be taken to avoid root damage during the process.
