Plant St. John’s Wort in any garden soil and in a position that is sheltered from cold winds. Hypericum is a versatile plant coping well in poor, dry soils and even thriving in deep shade.

Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young Hypericums plants become established. Mature plants require little attention throughout the growing season. After flowering, lightly prune evergreen Hypericum plants to remove any damaged or dead growth and maintain a pleasing shape.
