St. John's Wort

About this plant

Hypericum x 'Hidcote' is a superior cultivar of St. John's Wort, highly prized for its large, saucer-shaped, bright golden-yellow flowers that appear in profusion from early summer through fall, attracting a variety of pollinators. This robust, multi-stemmed shrub forms a neat, rounded mound of attractive green foliage, providing excellent texture even when not in bloom. Its long flowering period makes it an invaluable asset for extending seasonal color in borders, mass plantings, or as a vibrant specimen. 'Hidcote' is a relatively low-maintenance plant, tolerant of various soil conditions once established, and offers a resilient choice for adding enduring beauty to your garden.

Care & maintenance

Provide well-drained soil. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Can be cut back hard if rejuvenation is needed.
