How old are your plants? They look amazing, I just planted one a month ago.

I want one so bad. I should have just ordered bare roots because I can’t get the seeds to germinate.

That’s so pretty! I have a couple that did nothing last year, but look very healthy this year. No flowers, but I’m in zone 5 so likely far behind you. Really hoping they bloom this year.

Ohhhhh I have three of these but they’re all still lil bbs. I’m excited for them to reach their full potential.

Love it. I saw one in an arboretum a few years ago and it was CRAZY with bees. Ran out and bought one but it’s a tiny baby and growing slowly

Ahhhh! I planted some last fall that I grew from seeds and they are growing but still so tiny!! with this to look forwards to the wait will be painful!

WOW… when it comes time to replace shrubs in our front beds, this will definitely be a leading contender. Look at that. One of the reasons I purchased an anise hyssop was due to a video I saw in this group of the flowers being mobbed by pollinators. I love this.

Is this Hypericum densiflorum?

I have 4 I planted four years ago. This year I have at least 6 volunteers that have reared their heads. So adding good self seeders to the list

This is what I hope mine will be when it grows up.

The bees on my SJW are always hyperactive like that, makes me wonder if the pollen has the same effect on them as the plants do on humans.

That’s gorgeous! Hypericum doesn’t seem to get a lot of love as a landscaping plant, but from what I’ve seen, they’re hardy, attractive plants.
I have it growing wild—I have St. Andrew’s Cross in a pretty shady area, and something I haven’t identified in another woodland edge.
One warning: I made the mistake of buying an exotic Hypericum because I didn’t realize there were non-native species. I didn’t even think to check the species name at the nursery.

I just transplanted a spotted one from my yard into my garden!

Thought this was common sjw at first and nearly died. It will be the fight of my life getting it out of one garden.
