Hypericum prolificum . . Shrubby St. John's Wort
. . 3 to 4 ft. . . Sun to Lt. Shade
. . Zones 3 to 8. . Avg to moist soil
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.
