Hypericum calycinum ‘Brigadoon’                                Yellow-leaved St. John’s Wort

 Size:  18” X 3’ (somewhat stoloniferous, but tame)

 Exposure:  Full to part sun

 Flower Time:  Mid June (The flowers will not be overly noticeable)

 Ornamental Characteristics:

 Whoa what a plant!  We have yet to find a plant in our nursery with such an intense and reliable foliage color.  Thus far, Brigadoon has proven to have great, bright yellow leaves throughout the entire growing season.  While butter yellow flowers are expected on this plant, we have not experienced them yet.  Besides, yellow flowers will likely become unnoticeable against the strong foliage.  This species is very drought tolerant and much more forgiving of winter moisture, when compared to H. androsaemum.  It can be treated as a cut back shrub as described with H. a., but may not be absolutely necessary with this selection.
