Hypericum frondosum 'Sunburst'

St. John's Wort

This native shrub produces a profusion of striking yellow blooms in summer that attract pollinators. Flowers are followed by 1/2" tall, upright, red-brown capsules. Upright, rounded in shape with stout branches with exfoliating bark. Distinct blue-green foliage provides a perfect background for the bright yellow flowers. This is an excellent choice for mass plantings.
