{"product_id":"hypericum-kalmianum-kalms-st-johns-wort-2-gal","title":"Hypericum kalmianum (Kalm's St. Johns-Wort) - 2 gal","description":"Kalm’s St. John’s-Wort is a sun-loving, low, mounded shrub endemic to the Great Lakes region. In the wild, it is typically found growing in rocky or sandy soils near ponds and interdunal swales. It prefers moist growing conditions, and with excellent drainage it can tolerate average garden situations. It is a handsome, low-growing shrub with bluish-green foliage in summer and bright yellow, 1-1½”  five-petaled flowers from July to August. These flowers do not produce nectar and only attract various small bees which collect their pollen. They are long-blooming and add a cheerful pop of color to rock gardens, shrub borders and around the edges of ponds. They are moderately salt tolerant and a suitable choice for planting near driveways and sidewalks.\u003cbr\u003e*This is not the species renowned for its medicinal properties which is the non-native, invasive Hypericum perforatum.\u003cbr\u003eSources:\u003cbr\u003eNative Trees, Shrubs, \u0026amp; Vines by William Cullina\u003cbr\u003eManual of Woody Landscape Plants by Michael A.
