Sunburst St John's Wort. A selection of our southeastern native Golden St. John's Wort, it makes a 3-4' rounded shrub with distinct narrow bluish-green leaves, which for us in zone 8 remains mostly evergreen. The 2" flowers are the typical golden-yellow powder puffs of the species. This is a great plant for massing and naturalizing in part to full sun. In Europe it is considered to be the best performer of all of the American species of Hypericum, of which we have many 32 species alone listed in FLORA OF THE CAROLINAS.
Zones 5-8.
