St. John's Wort 'Hidcote'

Hypericum calycinum 'Hidcote' is a semi-evergreen shrub, highly valued for its long season of vibrant yellow flowers. From mid-summer through to autumn, it produces an abundance of large, showy, golden-yellow, saucer-shaped flowers with prominent stamens. It forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat of dark green leaves. Adaptable and tough, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and most well-drained soils, tolerating dry conditions well. Reaches 30-60cm in height and spreads indefinitely. An RHS AGM holder, excellent for banks or difficult areas, attracting pollinators.
