Hypericum, or St John’s Wort, is a versatile, semi-evergreen shrub known for its vibrant yellow flowers and attractive berries. Blooming from summer to autumn, its golden, star-shaped flowers are studded with prominent stamens that add a delicate, airy appearance to borders and mixed plantings. Many varieties also produce colourful berries—ranging from red to orange and even black—adding seasonal interest into the late year. With its neat, bushy habit and long flowering period, Hypericum works well as ground cover, in informal hedges, or as a filler shrub in larger beds.

Hypericum is exceptionally hardy and low-maintenance, thriving in a wide range of conditions. Its resilience, combined with its vibrant flowers and berries, makes it a reliable choice for gardeners looking for dependable, easy-care colour.
