Large, cheery yellow blooms cover the tough, low-growing native subshrub known as the creeping St. John's Wort shrub (Hypericum calycinum). Now, this isn't the same variety as the one you see in health food stores, but rather a durable landscape asset that delivers bright yellow blooms up to three inches wide with a fluffy "pom-pom" of long, bushy stamens and reddish anthers sparkle in the sunlight.

The main flush of blooms for bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators, occurs in early summer, with sporadic reblooming all season long! Over the season, the spent blooms develop into showy seedpods that persist all fall and winter for interest. Creeping St. John's Wort, also known as Aaron's Beard, is low-maintenance enough for even beginning gardeners can have success with these charming, ground-hugging shrubs.

Glossy, oval leaves add a symmetrical precise look to these hard-working plants and remain evergreenin warm winters. Groundcover St. John's Wort spreads by underground stolons to suppress weeds on bare ground, forming tidy and cheerful colonies! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 9, these shrubs grow 12 - 18 inches and spread to 18 - 24 inches wide. Watch for the foliage to develop purple tones if the nights in your area stay cool enough.
