St. John's Wort 'Hidcote', Hypericum patulum 'Hidcote', Hypericum 'Hidcote', Hypericum 'Hidcote Gold'
Award-winning Hypericum x hidcoteense ‘Hidcote’ (St. John’s Wort) is a dense, bushy, evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub boasting an abundance of large, golden-yellow flowers, 3 in. wide (7.5 cm), from early summer to early fall. Borne on reddish, twiggy stems, they are produced in great quantities and blanket the plant. Each saucer-shaped flower presents 5 petals surrounding a prominent tuft of golden stamens and orange anthers. The foliage of narrowly ovate, rich blue-green leaves provides a lovely backdrop for the bright golden blossoms. This deer-resistant little shrub is perfect for adding bright summer color to the garden. One of the most popular and reliable Hypericums.
