Synotis cappa, commonly known as Cappa’s Synotis, is a semi-deciduous perennial herb that is native to a variety of habitats in China and the Himalayas, including open woodlands, forest edges, and grassy slopes. It typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters) and is known for its yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in the fall, adding a splash of color to the garden late in the season. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite showy when the plant is grown in mass plantings.

Cappa’s Synotis is valued for its late-season blooms and its adaptability to a range of garden conditions. It is often used in borders, cottage gardens, and as part of mixed plantings to provide autumn interest. This plant prefers full sun to part shade and thrives in medium-draining clay or loam soils. It requires medium amounts of water, making it relatively easy to maintain once established. While not commonly reported to suffer from serious disease or pest problems, gardeners should watch for signs of stress in poor growing conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
