Bring season-long interest to your garden with Hypericum inodorum 'Pumpkin' (St. John's Wort 'Pumpkin'). You will enjoy a rounded, well-branched shrub that produces bright yellow, buttercup-like flowers in summer, then transitions into clusters of decorative pumpkin-orange berries that look great on the plant and in cut arrangements.

Place it where you can appreciate both flowers and fruit, such as along a walkway, near the patio, or in mixed borders. The berries can persist well into fall and early winter and may also provide interest for birds. Mature size is about 30-36 inches tall and 24-30 inches wide, making it an easy fit as a small hedge, border accent, or container centerpiece.

For best performance, give it full sun to part shade and plant in moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then provide average moisture; once established, it can handle some drought. A 2-3 inch mulch layer helps conserve moisture and reduces winter temperature swings around the root zone.

Maintenance is simple. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to keep the plant dense and encourage vigorous new stems for flowering and fruiting. Remove dead or crossing branches as needed, and trim lightly after bloom if you want a tidier shape. Avoid sites with standing water or persistently soggy soil.
