plant sale text: This is a Southeastern native shrub that adds lively color to the summer garden.

This adaptable native shrub may be seen growing on bluffs and rocky banks. This is a good plant for pollinators during the summer. Although it is easily grown, cedar glade St. John's-wort is relatively uncommon. The Hypericum genus supports up to 20 species of lepidoptera.
