This small deciduous shrub will provide texture and color to your garden with its small blue-green leaves and bright yellow pin cushion-shaped flowers in July and August. The narrow bluish leaves and yellow clusters of flowers create a nice color contrast. This plant will attract numerous bees and butterflies. It’s a great choice for a pollinator garden or plant one near your vegetable garden to attract pollinators to that area of your yard.

Blues Festival Hypericum kalmianum 'SMHKBF' reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and wide in full sun conditions in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 7. The plant produces multiple stems and grows in a mounded shape that’s filled out close to the ground. This North American native plant is deer and drought resistant and salt tolerant.

It’s resistant to powdery mildew, leaf spot and leaf scorch. It’s low maintenance and should only be pruned after flowering if needed. Flowers appear on new growth. Do not cut this plant back to the ground.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
