This medium sized shrub grows up to 4 feet high and wide with a naturally mounded form. It is easily pruned into a nice rounded shape in early spring. A profusion of cheerful yellow flowers cover this shrub throughout the summer, attracting legions of pollinators. It can be slow to grow but this beautiful shrub is well worth it! Highly adaptable and hardy, growing in almost any soil, including heavy clay, full to part sun.
Drought tolerant, and both rabbit and deer resistant, Shrubby St. John's Wort is also an important larval host plant for several species of butterflies and moths, including the Gray Hairstreak butterfly and the Wavy-lined Emerald moth.
Grows to 5'. Flowers in mid summer. Deer and rabbit resistant.
