Hypericum olympicum var. grandiflorum (Yew Dell Selection)  Creeping St. John’s Wort

 Size: 2” X 12”

 Exposure:  Full Sun

 Flower Time:  June to July

 Ornamental Characteristics:

 Hypericum olympicum is a wonderful ground cover plant that has many quality attributes to offer the garden.  While diminutive in size, its ¼” foliage casts a blue-green color throughout the growing season.  Then, in late spring, 1 ½” creamy yellow flowers adorn the top of this low lying gem.  All this garden glory will persist for years as long as it is placed in a well drained soil, retaining minimal winter moisture.  H. o. also has the unusual habit of dying out in the middle each year.  This does not kill the plant outright, but the plant moves around a little because it comes back from the branches that rooted the previous year.  Creeping St. John’s Wort is a great candidate for a true rock garden.  Selected by Paul Cappiello with Yew Dell Gardens.
