This St. John’s wort hybrid cultivar is a small, mounded woody perennial with reddish, arching stems and variegated, oval to oblong, rosy green leaves are edged with white. In warm winter climates, this shrub typically grows 2-3′ tall. It grows somewhat smaller (12-15" tall) in cold winter climates where it basically dies back each year in the manner of an herbaceous perennial. Features 5-petaled, buttercup-like, yellow flowers (1.5" diameter) having numerous, bushy stamens. Flowers are borne singly or in clusters and appear from mid-summer to fall.

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerates wide range of soils. Thrives on sandy soils in full sun. Evergreen in warm winter climates, but probably should be cut back in early spring. Usually dies to the ground in cold winter climates. Not reliably winter hardy in USDA Zone 5, however, and plant should be grown therein in a protected location with a winter mulch.
