Bushy, dense, hardy, semi-evergreen with narrowly oval, dark to mid-green leaves. It will only lose its leaves in very cold winters. Masses of large, 5cm (2ins) wide, very showy, saucer-shaped, bright yellow flowers with prominent darker yellow stamens appear continually from July to October thus making a very colourful eye-catching hedge over a long period. The flowers are nectar and pollen rich so are particularly attractive to honey and bumble bees. Flowers best in full sun, but it will tolerate partial shade.

HEDGE Trim in winter. For hedges 90 - 120cm (3 - 4ft). Plant 45cm (1.5ft) apart.

SHRUB 1.2 x 1.5m (4 x 5ft).

Pot Grown Plants

These are normally sold in small 9cm wide pots, unless a different pot size is shown (where the pot size is shown in litres). Pot grown plants can be planted at any time of the year.

Availability

Pot Grown are generally available all year.

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.

Planting Distances for planting as a Hedge

We recommend planting Hypericum Hidcote in a single row 45cm/18ins apart.

To calculate the number of plants needed for a length of hedging, click on Planting Distance Calculator above.

Planting Guide & RootGrow

We recommend planting with RootGrow. The recommended amount for RootGrow for an order will be shown in your shopping basket.

We will send out a planting guide with your order, you also can find a guide to planting here.

Pruning

Hedging - As a general rule, plants grown for hedging need pruning to encourage side branching. Usually the harder a plant is pruned the bushier it will be. If they are not pruned there is a danger that the hedges will be thin and bare at the base and that the tips of the plants will die back. If the plant is naturally bushy, less or sometimes no pruning will be needed to achieve a dense hedge.

Hypericum Hidcote: Cut back by about one third the leading and long side shoots and repeat during the second winter.
