The foliage of Cobalt-n-Gold™ Hypericum has hints of blue and is covered in dainty-yellow flowers in the spring. The foliage turns a fiery red during the fall before falling to expose the exfoliating brown bark of the stems through the winter. The compact form of Cobalt-n-Gold™ Hypericum makes it a great shrub to use repeatedly in a landscape to provide color throughout the year and a cohesive design element.
Pollinators and other wildlife love hypericum. The flowers attract pollinators like mad in the spring and early summer. The berries help feed songbirds and other small wildlife through the fall and winter. Deer do not browse hypericum because of its woody stems and prickly, tough leaves. Hypericum kalmianum is drought tolerant and naturalizes in the landscape. The upright shape is excellent as edging for a garden bed or placed in tough-to-plant areas like next to a driveway or on a sloped part of the yard.
Cobalt-n-Gold™ Hypericum Care
Hypericum thrives in full sun but also performs well in part shade. It prefers well-drained soil with an average texture and neutral pH. Regular watering will produce lush and heavy-blooming plants. Infrequent watering as the plants establish will help the roots to grow deeper in the ground and be less affected by dry and hot conditions. One inch of water, either naturally or supplementary, a week is ideal. Fertilize once a year in the spring using a granular, slow-release food. Look for a balanced ratio of NPK around 10-10-10.
Light pruning after the flowers have finished will keep this shrub in shape. Only cut deep into the woody stems if rejuvenation pruning is needed. Hypericum can become leggy over time because it blooms on new growth. The best time for rejuvenating is late in the winter, just as new growth has started. The whole plant can be cut to within 8 inches of the soil. Hypericum will quickly regrow and should be kept well watered during the summer after a hard cutback.
Cobalt-n-Gold™ Hypericum Spacing
The mature size of Hypericum Cobalt-n-Gold™ is 2-3 feet high and 4-5 feet wide. Space each shrub 4 feet apart center on center to fill in an area or create a hedge.

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.

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.

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.
