The base of each leaf is narrow and tapers to a point, while the edges near the tip may have small, rounded or sharp teeth.

The small green sepals (leaf-like structures that protect the flower bud) are 3–4 mm long, narrow, and have a broad base with a blunt tip.

[3] The flower contains 10 stamens (the pollen-producing parts), which are slightly shorter than the petals, with orange anthers at the tips.

In late summer, the flowers give way to follicles (dry seed pods) that spread out in a star-like, horizontal pattern.

[3] In Russia, this species is found across a broad range, including Amur, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, the Kuril Islands, Magadan, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, and Yakutia.

[1] The species sometimes persists as a remnant of cultivation or escapes as a discarded garden plant, appearing along roadsides, railway embankments, and disturbed ground.

[2] Phedimus kamtschaticus is easily grown in well-draining soil with moderate to low moisture and full sunlight.

[7] It is commonly used in containers and rock gardens, but may also be grown as a small area groundcover[4] and in green roof plantings.

[12] In Chinese herbal medicine, P. kamtschaticus is applied freshly crushed to wounds, burns, snakebites, or other injuries to ease pain, reduce swelling, and improve blood flow.
