plant sale text: This plant is endemic from S VA to AL in the Piedmont and inner Coastal Plain. The flowers are that perfect lemon yellow (impossible not to love, right?), small but showy, clustered at the ends of the stems from late summer to frost. The evergreen leaves are slender and its habit is low and shrubby. It is tolerant of soils from clay to sand as long as there is some drainage, though it prefers it dry once established. The genus Hypericum supports up to 20 lepidoptera species.
