St. John's Wort 'Tricolor', Hypericum × moserianum 'Variegatum'
A popular cultivar, Hypericum x moserianum ‘Tricolor’ (St. John’s Wort) is a small, spreading, semi-evergreen shrub boasting a ravishing variegated foliage. Its red arching stems are clothed in ovate, green, pink, and cream leaves. When not in bloom, this shrub is a pleasure thanks to its brightly colored foliage. Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, showy cup-shaped, golden-yellow flowers, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), adorned with a prominent tuft of golden stamens are on display, adding even more color. This deer-resistant little shrub is perfect for borders or rock gardens.
