Couldn't load pickup availability
Sizes available: 2 quart
Basics: zone 5-8, 12-18" x 12-24", sun to part shade, yellow spray of flowers in late summer, likes rich humus-y soil, well-drained, but not particularly picky.
Common names: Patrinia, Swollen Patrinia
Family: Caprifoliaceae
Origin/Distribution: northern Japan and the Kuril Islands
Habitat: hillsides with open shade, woodland edge
More: This is a tough plant. I have wintered it over in pots above ground and it hasn't skipped a beat. Some sources say hardy to only zone 6, but I don't agree. Its numerous yellow flowers attract late season pollinators and even out of flower the dark green, textured leaves look fresh and the seed heads age well. It is a clump-former with a long bloom time. Good as a cut flower. Deer and rabbit resistant. May self-seed if happy. A good woodland edge or dappled shady border participant.
