St. John’s Wort is a well-known perennial from our meadows and fields. The gardeners, however, selected species which are shrubby and have additional features for common use in gardens. MIRACLE® is an enchanted series of a few hybrids producing profusion of multi-coloured berries in autumn. The breeding program started in 2010 and was conducted by a Dutch breeder Wilhelmus T.J. van den Hoogen.
Description of the plant:
MIRACLE® BLOSSOM St. John’s Wort offers a breath-taking shade of its berries – they are soft pastel pink and follow golden yellow to almost golden orange flowers which open in several flushes from late June until late September. Its deciduous, broadly ovate leaves are dark green with blue-green hues. The plant forms dense shrubs with profusion of flowers and berries.St.John's wort loves in full sun and moderately fertile soil that is very well drained but evenly moist. Prune young plants by one third or one half in spring, and rejuvenate older plants by cutting back about 5-7 cm above ground. But don’t do it regularly, only light pruning is recommended if done annually. Fully hardy to about -23°C (USDA zone 6).
