In midsummer, profuse small yellow flowers bloom for several weeks. Although it is easily grown, Bedstraw St. Johns-wort is relatively uncommon in the nursery trade.The genus name Hypericum is derived from the Greek and means "over an apparition," referring to the common belief that St. Johns-worts repel evil spirits.
