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.

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.

Description

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.
