watering
Patrinia (Patrinia scabiosifolia 'Nagoya') likes moist yet well-draining soil. During the growing season, water the plant regularly and deeply 2-3 times a week to ensure it is getting enough water. Reduce watering frequency in winter and only water when the soil is completely dry. In addition, mist the plant occasionally to improve air circulation and to prevent spider mites.
sunlight
Patrinia scabiosifolia 'Nagoya' is a drought-tolerant, sun-loving plant species. It thrives in a spot that gets full sun, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day. Partial shade is also tolerated, however, for this plant species, full sun is ideal for optimal growth and flowering. Patrinia 'Nagoya' should be planted in late spring after the last frost and should be adequately watered during dry periods, or when it begins to show signs of wilting.
pruning
Patrinia (Patrinia scabiosifolia 'Nagoya') should be pruned twice during the year. Pruning in early spring after bloom and again in late summer is ideal. When pruning in early spring, only cut away any dead or diseased stems and remove 1/3 of the remaining stems to promote bushiness. When pruning in late summer you can perform harder pruning and reduce overall size by 1/3 or remove older stems. This will help to maintain a desirable shape and keep the plant healthy.
