Plant description
Masses of golden-yellow, cup-shaped flowers smother this evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub from July to October, creating a superb, long-lasting display. Perfect for the mixed or shrub border, where it will flourish in either full sun or partial shade. Dense and bushy in habit, it requires moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil and will appreciate protection from cold, drying winds. Hypericum × hidcoteense 'Hidcote' makes a reliable standalone and multi-season low hedge, or as part of a mixed shrubbery where privacy or screening is required.
