Pot Grown Hypericum 'Golden Beacon'
(St John's Wort Wilhyp)

Hypericum 'Golden Beacon' plants produce stunning yellow flowers that bud from bright red buds during Summer, that soon develop into shiny, red fruits which plenty of wildlife species thoroughly enjoy! We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.̴Ì?Find out more

Golden Beacon leaves are shades of gold and green, with bright, attractive edging. Its beautifully coloured foliage creates a perfect contrast against the lovely, little flowers during Summer.

St John's Wort Wilhyp is deciduous and rather compact. Its bushy/spreading habit will easily and happily create a showy, thick shrub in your garden! Plus, it's easy to grow due to being able to tolerate so many growing conditions.̴Ì?

It is best to plant Hypericum 'Golden Beacon' in a full sun position and in well-draining soil.̴Ì?

  • Growth rate: Slow (10-20 cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 1m+ Medium
  • Soil type: Any well-draining soil
  • Exposure: Exposed, sheltered
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? No

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep it well-watered and it gets enough sun. Don't leave the plant for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

As Hypericum 'Golden Beacon' grows a large crop of flowers in one Summer, you will need to prune the plant every Spring. We also highly recommend carrying out a renewal prune (where you cut back about 1/2 of the plant), every 3-4 years. This will encourage the plant to produce new, healthy foliage.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
