Patrinia gibbosa
This is a genus that should be better known, with several garden-worthy species, providing colour (usually yellow) after most other plants have finished flowering. They are herbaceous perennials, but some are mat-forming, and are therefore suitable for rock gardens. They all originate from eastern Asia. Patrinia gibbosa makes low mats of large dark green textured leaves and has loose sprays of soft yellow flowers that will continue flowering for most of the summer. Deadhead to prolong flowering.
