Description
Hypericum punctatum
Spotted St. John’s Wort is a North American native perennial herb that is naturally found at woodland edges and around streams. Its lovely small, yellow flowers are pollinated by many species of native bees. Native Spotted St. John’s wort (Hypericum punctatum) can be distinguished from introduced Common St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) by the distinctive small, dark dots that cover its leaves and flower petals. It grows to about 2 feet tall, prefers moderately moist soils, and can thrive in full sun to part shade. Since its leaves are slightly toxic to mammals, it makes a good deer-resistant shrub for garden edges. One note of caution for humans as well – the sap can cause irritation on skin that is exposed to sun.
Surface-sow these seeds in a weed-free location in late fall or winter, or cold stratify them in the refrigerator for 60 days before sowing outdoors or in flats for transplant in spring. They require light to germinate, so make sure not to cover them. These seeds are exceptionally tiny, so handle with care! 0.05 gram packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
