Hypericum calycinum 'Brigadoon'

St. John's Wort-Golden

Recommend this beautiful golden Hypericum as an excellent underplanting for large shrubs and trees, as a low maintenance groundcover, for mass plantings, or to stabilize soil on slopes. It creeps slowly by rhizomes, forming a thick, weed-suppressing carpet. Foliage is tinged red in cool weather. 2" yellow flowers are a bonus.
