Hypericum 'Hidcote' - Award-Winning St. John's Wort for Year-Round Garden Color
Hypericum 'Hidcote', also known as St. John's wort, is an elegant, compact shrub that brings year-round structure and color to the garden. This hardy, evergreen plant has glossy, deep green foliage and produces large, bright yellow flowers from mid-summer to late autumn, featuring striking, star-shaped stamens. The blooms attract bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.
Key Features & Benefits
This versatile shrub thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it suitable for borders, rock gardens, or as a low hedge. The golden-yellow flowers, measuring up to 3 inches wide, create a cheerful display against the rich blue-green foliage. 'Hidcote' is drought-tolerant once established and deer-resistant, making it ideal for challenging garden conditions including slopes, poor soils, and areas requiring erosion control.
Growing Conditions & Care
Hypericum 'Hidcote' is low-maintenance and adapts to a wide range of soil types, including clay and rocky soils, as long as drainage is adequate. Hardy in zones 5-9, this semi-evergreen shrub typically reaches 2-4 feet in height and spread at maturity. In colder climates, it may experience some winter dieback but regrows vigorously in spring. The plant flowers on new growth, so annual pruning in late winter or early spring encourages dense branching and abundant blooms.
Landscape Uses
Perfect for mass plantings, informal hedges, foundation plantings, or pollinator-friendly borders. The compact growth habit makes it suitable for small to large gardens, while its spreading nature provides effective ground cover for slopes and banks. The long blooming season from June through October ensures continuous color and pollinator activity throughout summer and autumn.
