                            Synotis nayongensis is a perennial plant that can be propagated by division or seed. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant and can tolerate a wide range of soil types. It is best to divide the plant in early spring or late fall. To propagate by seed, sow the seeds in the fall or early spring and cover lightly with soil. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Thin the seedlings to the desired spacing when they are large enough to handle.
