Description
Hypericum Sunburst infuses your landscape with a vibrant burst of sunny yellow blooms that light up early summer. This compact shrub delights with its densely mounded habit, showcasing bright, cheerful flowers that gradually mellow to a softer, golden hue as the season progresses. The striking contrast of its vivid blossoms against lush, dark green foliage creates an inspiring focal point ideal for mixed shrub borders, container displays, or as an accent in any outdoor setting.
General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to part sun (ideally 5–6 hours of direct light daily)
- Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil; a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0–6.5) helps maintain vibrant bloom color
- Watering: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
- Pruning: Remove dead or damaged wood in early spring to encourage healthy new growth
