Hypericum (St. John’s Wort) flowers

Hypericum, commonly known as St. John’s Wort, is a hardy flowering perennial valued for its bright golden-yellow blooms and attractive berries. Native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, its star-shaped flowers are followed by colorful seed capsules that add interest well into the fall season.

They thrive in full sun to partial shade and adapt well to a variety of well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it a reliable choice for low-care gardens, while the dense foliage provides excellent ground cover.
