shrubHypericum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hypericaceae, comprising approximately 518 species with a nearly worldwide distribution, missing only from tropical lowlands, deserts, and polar regions. Many Hypericum species are shrubs or herbaceous plants known for their yellow flowers and use in traditional medicine, though some species are regarded as invasive weeds.
Suitable for light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils; prefers well-drained soil. Can grow in mildly acid, neutral, and basic (mildly alkaline) soils, and tolerates very acid and very alkaline soils. Can tolerate drought.
Thrives in the same partial sun, moderate water conditions as St. John's wort
