Description

Hypericum moserianum, commonly known as Gold Flower or St. John's Wort, is a charming, semi-evergreen shrub prized for its bright golden-yellow flowers and spectacular, long-lasting red berries. This compact, mounding plant features slender, reddish-brown stems with small, oblong, medium green leaves that provide a lush backdrop. From midsummer through early autumn, it produces an abundance of showy, five-petaled, golden-yellow flowers with prominent, fluffy yellow stamens, creating a cheerful, sunny display. The flowers are followed by attractive, glossy, berry-like red capsules that persist well after the leaves drop, providing vibrant winter interest for months. Exceptionally adaptable, low-maintenance, and deer-resistant, it is an outstanding choice for borders, mass plantings, ground cover, foundation plantings, and as a colorful filler in sunny to partially shaded gardens.
