Hypericum × moserianum ‘Tricolor’

St John's Wort 'Tricolor'
Hardiness H5

Green leaves irregularly edged in cream and flushed with pink make Hypericum × moserianum ‘Tricolor’ colourful even before its yellow summer flowers open. This low spreading shrub suits border fronts and containers, but the variegated foliage benefits from shelter from severe frost and scorching exposure.

Hypericum × moserianum ‘Tricolor’ Description

Hypericum × moserianum ‘Tricolor’ is a compact semi-evergreen shrub with arching stems and particularly colourful foliage. Oval leaves combine green centres with creamy-white margins, while young growth develops attractive pink and reddish flushes. Bright yellow cup-shaped flowers with prominent stamens appear from summer into early autumn. Mature plants generally reach around 40 to 60cm high and spread 60cm to 1 metre. Grow in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile soil that drains freely. Some good light enhances the pink colouring, although harsh exposure may scorch the pale margins. It is suitable for sheltered Irish gardens and patio containers. Remove winter-damaged stems in spring and lightly shorten vigorous shoots to keep the plant dense and balanced.
