Description
St. John's wort blooms around St. John's Day at the end of June in bright yellow. When a leaf is held up to light, the translucent glandular dots that give the plant its name become visible. It is a hardy, robust perennial suited to dry, sunny sites.
Care instructions
Sow as a light-seedling in early April in a shallow bed or plant in a full‑sun, well‑drained spot. It tolerates drought and poor soil and requires little maintenance. Cut back spent stems in late autumn; the plant will vigorously regrow in spring.
