St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a hardy perennial herb known for its clusters of bright yellow star-shaped flowers that bloom in midsummer. Traditionally valued in herbal gardens, it is also a beautiful ornamental plant that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Low-maintenance and drought tolerant once established, St. John’s Wort thrives in poor soils and naturalizes easily in meadows, borders, or cottage gardens. Seeds are making it a reliable choice for both herbal and ornamental uses.
How to Plant
When: Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct sow outdoors in spring.
