40/60cm Pot Grown Hypericum 'Golden Beacon'
(St John's Wort Wilhyp)

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?

This 40/60cm potted Hypericum Golden Beacon plant is slow growing but can grow up to 1m high when planted in good conditions.

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.̴Ì?
