Hypericum punctatum

Spotted St. John's-wort 

• Average to dry soils
• Prefers full sun, will also grow in partial shade
• 24” tall, 8” to 24” wide
• Summer blooms 
• Native to Ontario, beginner friendly

New to me this year, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/hypericum-punctatum-dotted-st-johns-wort-prairie-moon-nursery.html  

This is the native St. John’s-wort species that I suspect is the best suited to filling a lot of spaces that are currently occupied by the introduced, and somewhat invasive, Eurasian Common St. John’s-wort (Hypericum perforatum). 

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
