The best choice for your budget Hypericum kalmianum ‘Sunny Boulevard’St. John’s Wort

‘Sunny Boulevard’ is a superb Hypericum, that is ready to flower from July until October. It generates an abundance of golden blooms, that cloak a bushy growing habit of fresh green foliage. Later followed by fleshy fruits, your hardy shrub attracts lots of wildlife and would fit in nicely to a cottage, woodland or wildlife themed landscapes. Happy to progress in semi shade, watch it thrive to a height and spread of 100cm. Hypericum kalmianum ‘Sunny Boulevard’ must have been named in midsummer, for that is when the plant’s sunny, golden blooms illuminate the garden. The yellow flowers adorn the plant’s semi-evergreen foliage in July and August, adding ample colour to the middle of any border. The hardy shrub remains interesting throughout the rest of the year, too: its leaves are attractive, low-maintenance and bear intriguing, red fruit after September. This variety of St. John’s Wort could thus be named ‘April Showers Boulevard’ or ‘October Drizzle Boulevard’, for it shines metaphorically in the spring and the autumn as well as the summer. Height: 90cm (3′). Spread: 90cm (3′). Plant St. John’s Wort in any garden soil and in a position that is sheltered from cold winds. Hypericum is a versatile plant coping well in poor, dry soils and even thriving in deep shade.
