Discover the vibrant allure of Hypericum prolificum, commonly known as Shrubby St. John's Wort, a stunning addition to any landscape. This compact, deciduous shrub thrives in Central and Eastern North America, gracing gardens in USDA Zones 3 to 8. With an ideal height of 1-5 feet and a spread of 1-4 feet, it's perfect for native plant gardens or as a distinctive hedge. From June to August, enjoy its showy, bright yellow, five-petaled flowers that not only captivate the eye but also attract bumblebees and a variety of pollinators. Its hardiness is matched by an ability to flourish in diverse conditions—from full sun to part shade and clay to rocky soils—with admirable drought tolerance. With minimal maintenance, its tough yet visually appealing foliage provides year-round interest; watch as the bark of older stems exfoliates, revealing a lovely pale orange hue. Whether stabilizing embankments or enhancing a shrub border, this plant's prolific, dense, and rounded habit brings both aesthetic appeal and ecological value, all while resisting deer, rabbits, and even erosion. A testament to resilience, this species is an enduring native garden treasure, invaluable for its beauty and biodiversity benefits.
