Hypericum (St. John's Wort)
Hypericum, commonly known as St. John’s Wort, is a versatile genus of flowering plants. Many species thrive in UK gardens, offering both visual appeal and ecological benefits.
The bright yellow flowers attract pollinators like bees and hoverflies. Birds often feed on the seeds in autumn. They also provide valuable shelter for small insects.
These plants adapt well to different soils and conditions. They suit sunny borders, woodland edges, or wildflower meadows. Hypericum supports local biodiversity while requiring minimal maintenance.
