Hypericum androsaemum, commonly known as Sweet-Amber or Tutsan, a captivating deciduous shrub perfect for your garden. Native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, this versatile plant thrives in USDA Zones 5 to 8, offering lush beauty with minimal maintenance. Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, its bushy, erect branches are adorned with 4-inch long, dark green leaves that create an elegant backdrop for the star attraction—its blooms. From late spring through late summer, sweet-amber showcases clusters of showy, golden-yellow, star or cup-shaped flowers that captivate with their vibrant hues and prominent bushy stamens. As the season progresses, these flowers give way to ornamental berry-like fruits that mature from red to black, attracting birds to your landscape and naturally spreading the beauty.

Ideal for full sun to part shade, this drought-tolerant shrub flourishes in medium moisture, well-drained soils. While it's tolerant of some shade, abundant flowering is best achieved with ample sunlight. Perfect for hedges, naturalized areas, or as a show-stopping specimen plant, Sweet-Amber enhances slopes, woodlands, and wildlife gardens. Its deer resistance and general lack of pest issues make it an excellent low-maintenance addition. Whether massed in borders or standing alone, Hypericum androsaemum offers timeless beauty while connecting to your garden's ecological rhythm.
