Hypericum prolificum . . Shrubby St. John's Wort
. . 3 to 4ft. . . Sun to lt. shade
. . Zones 3 to 8 . . Avg. to moist soil . . Summer
Native
A compact, deciduous, rounded shrub with an erect habit that typically grows 1-4' tall. Profuse 5-petaled, bright yellow flowers (to 1" diameter) with numerous, yellow stamens in early to mid summer. Stamens are bushy to the point of partially obscuring the petals (hence the species name of prolificum which refers to the stamens). Very showy in bloom. Dark green, lance-shaped leaves are 2-3" long. Bark of older stems exfoliates to reveal attractive, pale orange inner bark.
. . . . Plants of the genus Hypericum (some species have been used since ancient times in the treatment of wounds and inflammations) were apparently gathered and burned to ward off evil spirits on the eve of St. John's Day, thus giving rise to the genus common name of St. John's wort.
