Hypericum perforatum

Family: Hypericaceae, Genus: Hypericum

Description:

Hypericum perforatum, commonly known as St. John's Wort, is a hardy shrub with bright yellow star-shaped flowers and deep green foliage. It is semi-evergreen in warmer climates and thrives in USDA zones 5 to 9. The plant grows 12-18 inches tall and spreads 18-24 inches wide, forming colonies through underground stolons. It is drought and rust-resistant, making it low maintenance and ideal for well-drained soils. The exfoliating bark adds winter interest, and the plant is seldom bothered by deer.
