Hypericum patulum, commonly known as the Spreading St. John's Wort or Goldencup St. John's Wort, is a delightful perennial shrub admired for its bright and cheerful appearance. This low-growing, spreading plant typically reaches a height of 2-3 feet and produces clusters of striking yellow, star-shaped flowers with prominent golden stamens. These blossoms create a vibrant contrast against the rich green foliage, providing a burst of color in gardens and landscapes. Hypericum patulum thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, making it a versatile addition to various garden settings, from borders to rock gardens. Its ability to attract pollinators adds to its charm, making it a popular choice among gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with a touch of brightness and natural beauty.  Zones 6-9

Germination

Germinating Hypericum patulum seeds is a straightforward process. Begin by cleaning the seeds by removing any remaining plant material or debris. Next, prepare a seed-starting mix that is well-draining, such as a blend of potting soil and perlite. Sow the seeds on the surface of the mix, gently pressing them down without burying them too deep. Mist the soil to moisten it evenly. Cover the container with a plastic lid or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse effect, maintaining humidity. Place the container in a bright location with indirect sunlight and maintain a temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in a few weeks to a couple of months. Once the seedlings have grown large enough and are sturdy, they can be transplanted into larger pots or an outdoor garden bed.
