St. John’s Wort is a well know 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.
Description of the plant:
MIRACLE® ATTRACTION is rated the most attractive variety of all MIRACLE® series of St.John's wort. It has extended blooming season owing to which the plant keeps on producing flowers in the midst of numerous berries. Flowers are 2-3 cm wide, rich golden yellow, and come out from late June until late September. From late August they are followed by inedible fruit - vibrant red, glossy berries which turn purple black later. Deciduous leaves are broadly ovate, rich green, and cover the plant almost entirely.The best way to prune it is back pruning to 5-7 cm above ground. Grow these smaller hypericums in full sun, moderately fertile soil that is very well drained. Thanks to smaller size it is also ideal for a rockery. Fully hardy to about -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
