This perennial herb is renowned for its bright yellow flowers and has a long history of traditional use. St. John's Wort typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. The plant blooms from late spring to early fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Zones 5-9.

To cultivate St. John's Wort, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Lightly press the seeds into the soil surface without covering them, as they require light for germination. Maintain a temperature of 50-55°F (10-13°C) during germination, which can take 3 weeks to 3 months. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18 inches apart. Alternatively, direct sowing outdoors in early spring or early autumn is also effective. Incorporating St. John's Wort into your garden adds vibrant color and supports local pollinators. Its low-maintenance nature makes it suitable for various garden settings, including borders, wildflower meadows, and naturalized areas.
