Description
I’m always on the lookout for new plants to enhance my fall garden, so when I found seeds of Patrinia villosa—basically, a white form of the bright yellow golden lace (Patrinia scabiosifolia)–I knew I had to try it. The plant form is similar, starting with a leafy basal rosette and ending with upright, 4- to 5-foot stems that branch toward the top, carrying flat clusters of many small blooms. As indicated by the name, the flowers are white, not yellow, taking on pinkish tints as the seeds form. Starting its show in September here (though other sources say it starts flowering in July), it’s very pretty with many other late-flowering companions, such as asters (Symphyotrichum) and seashore mallow (Kosteletzkya virginica). Full sun to light shade. Reportedly hardy in Zones 5 to 8.
Harvested in mid October 2022. At least 20 seeds.
