Hypericum pyramidatum, commonly called Great St. John’s Wort, is an upright perennial that typically grows 2-5’ tall and features a showy display of yellow flowers (2” across) that bloom in pyramidal cymes in July-August. Each flower has 5 yellow petals, 5 styles (most hypericums have 3 styles) and a center boss of bushy yellow stamens. Stem-clasping, elliptic leaves to 5” long. Hypericum pyramidatum (considered by many to be synonymous with Hypericum ascyron) is native to streambanks and moist wooded slopes from Maine to Manitoba south to Maryland, Indiana and Kansas. It is found in wooded slopes and thickets. This plant is also native to central and eastern Asia.

Information

Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.

We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.

We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.

We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
