Kalm’s St. John’s Wort (Hypericum kalmianum) is small, dense, semi-evergreen shrub that grows naturally along lakes, rivers, and cliffs. The bright yellow flowers bloom in late summer and attract bees, butterflies, and other native pollinators. It prefers medium soil and full sun, and it works well as a low hedge or a in a rock garden. Pruning, if needed, should be done after flowering in the early fall. It should be noted that the leaves of this plant are toxic to pets.
