Plant description
Golden crown-like flowers give way to long-interest berries turning from yellow, though pink to finally black. ‘Magical Beauty’ is a long season, semi-evergreen ‘St John’s Wort’ that really earns it’s keep. Bees and many other beneficial pollinating insects find the sunny flowers irresistible, and you're guaranteed months of colour from flowers, which appear from June right through to September, with fruits appearing from August. Perfect for pots, it’s also a flower arranger’s dream!

How to care for Hypericum × inodorum Magical Beauty ('Kolmbeau') (PBR) (Magical Series):
When planting ‘Magical Beauty’ incorporate well-rotted compost or manure into the planting hole and add some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. After flowering lightly trim back shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
Please note:
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
