Long-lasting blooms are the hallmark of the Gemo St. John's Wort. The bold yellow flowers are on full display from July till September. The large blooms are offset by thin, sword-shaped foliage in a grey-green hue. This low-maintenance plant features a tightly branched, upright growth habit. The Gemo St. John's Wort has bountiful blooms, and this shrub will be covered entirely in flowers during the summer.
This beauty will shine in beds, borders, mass plantings, or as a groundcover. At 2 to 3 feet tall, this plant can also be used as a low hedge. Butterflies are drawn to the vibrant flowers, making this plant a lovely addition to a butterfly garden. St. John’s Wort is native to North America, so this plant requires some care and attention during the first year, but it will acclimate quickly and be very low-maintenance going forward. This plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.
