patrinia

Patrinia (Patrinia scabiosifolia) is a fast-growing plant species that prefers moist soil and plenty of direct sunlight. It should be watered frequently, approximately twice a week in the spring and summer and once a week in the fall and winter. Soil should remain evenly moist - never soggy - so check the soil each time you water to check the moisture level; if it is still moist, wait a few days before watering. Make sure to give your Patrinia enough water for the soil to be evenly moist, but be careful not to overwater as this can be dangerous for the plant. If the soil feels dry, it is time to water. In extreme temperatures, you may need to water more regularly.

Patrinia scabiosifolia is a plant species that thrives best in full sun to part shade conditions. It prefers 4 to 6 hours of direct sun per day either in the mornings or afternoons, though this can vary depending on the geographic location. The species does not tolerate full shade and does best when provided some midday protection from the hottest hours of the day.

Pruning Patrinia (Patrinia scabiosifolia) plants is recommended in the early spring once mature growth is visible. To maintain a desirable size and shape, lightly prune the plant’s tips in February or March while leaving the branches intact. A pair of pruning shears should be used for cutting back shoots and stems. It is important to not prune more than 1-third of the plant at once. For the best overall shape, cut the top of the plant in a rounded shape. Deadheading is also beneficial, as it encourages more blooms.
