Add long-lasting summer color with Hypericum frondosum 'Sunburst' (Golden St. John's Wort 'Sunburst'), a tight, mounded shrub prized for its large golden-yellow flowers and clean blue-green foliage. You will enjoy a steady show through the warm months, plus handsome structure from its dense habit in the landscape.
Give your plant full sun for the best bloom, though it will also perform well in partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil and average moisture, and once established it handles short dry spells better than many flowering shrubs. Water regularly during the first season to help roots settle in, then let the soil dry slightly between deep soakings.
At maturity, plan on roughly 24-36 inches tall with a similar spread, making it easy to tuck into beds and borders, along paths, or as a low informal hedge. Pair it with perennials and grasses for contrast, or use it in repeating groups for a bright summer rhythm.
For simple care, prune lightly in late winter or very early spring before new growth starts to keep the plant compact and encourage fresh shoots. Remove any winter-damaged stems, refresh mulch to conserve moisture, and avoid consistently soggy sites for best long-term performance.
