Common name creeping St. John's wort Family clusiaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers yellow (July) Size 12-18" Light full sun Cultural notes not fussy Bright yellow summer flowers on a low-growing plant. In warmer climates, the foliage is evergreen, but for us the mid-green leaves regrow from the roots every year. This plant wants to wander around by its roots - we plant it in a bottomless tub to contain it, which has worked just fine for a good number of years now. This tendency also makes it suitable as a ground cover; I may give it a try underneath one of our front-yard trees sometime. Overall, a robust, low-maintenance perennial.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: the lane
