The Hypericum Magical range have been specially bred for their prolific clusters of golden yellow star-shaped flowers in summer followed by bountiful berries in autumn. The health of these plants is exceptional, they are well-branched with a healthy covering of semi-evergreen oval dark green leaves.A true favourite within floristry, the berries add seasonality and texture to autumn arrangements and have a fabulously long vase-life.Valuable additions to the border or pot, hypericum offer interest in the garden all year round and are easy to care for. Growing well on most soil types and thriving best in a sunny location, these perennial hypericum can also tolerate some shade and will grow to just under 1m in height so will not impose on other shrubs and plants within your planting scheme.Many of us are familiar with the more common name for this European plant, St John’s wort, which has been traditionally used in herbal medicine to treat mood disorders and was first discovered by the ancient Greeks.
