Legendary medicinal herb popular in Europe for use as an anti-depressant.
Perennial. Plant St. John's wort in spring or fall. To help seeds germinate more quickly, soak them in warm water for a few hours or overnight. St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a perennial (zones 4-9) native to Europe but naturalized from Canada to Arizona. If you're in Zone 4 or colder, protect plants with a layer of mulch over the winter months. Considered a weed in many areas.
It likes sun (but will tolerate partial shade) and thrives in poor soil. Plants grow to about three feet and produce lots of bright, yellow flowers in summer. If you hold the small leaves up to a strong light, you'll see that they have tiny dimples or perforations, hence the "perforatum" in the plant's name.
