Hypericum frondosum 'Sunburst'
Common Name: Sunburst St. John's Wort
Hypericum frondosum ‘Sunburst’ is a deciduous shrub valued for its large bright golden-yellow flowers with prominent tufted stamens and distinctive blue-green foliage. Blooming in summer, the flowers are larger than many other Hypericum selections and stand out strongly against the glaucous foliage. The rounded shrub form and vivid flower display make it especially attractive in sunny landscapes.

The blue-green foliage adds contrast even when not in bloom. Care: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Prune in early spring to remove winter damage and encourage vigorous flowering on new growth. Once established, it performs well in heat and dry conditions.
