Hypericaceae
Hypericum × inodorum ‘Magical Red Fame’ is a bushy ornamental shrub from the St. John's Wort family, often referred to as a St. John's Wort bush in gardening. It is distinguished by its vibrant yellow summer blooms, followed by highly decorative intense red berries in autumn. Compact and well-branched, this cultivar is ideal for beds, borders, or containers, adding color and structure from early summer until autumn. Its semi-evergreen dark green foliage, resistant to rust, remains attractive for much of the year. Cultivated exclusively for ornamental purposes, it does not possess the medicinal properties of medicinal St. John's Wort. Easy to care for, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil, and tolerates moderate drought once established. It attracts pollinators and butterflies, while being deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for all types of gardens.
