Frequently Asked Questions
Explore helpful information about Hairy St. John's Wort seeds, flowering characteristics, and growing requirements.
How is Hairy St. John's Wort different from Common St. John's Wort?
Hairy St. John's Wort (Hypericum hirsutum) is distinguished by its noticeably hairy stems and leaves. Common St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) generally has smoother stems and leaves with distinctive translucent glandular dots. Both produce yellow flowers, but their foliage and identifying botanical characteristics are different.
When does Hairy St. John's Wort flower?
Hairy St. John's Wort typically flowers during summer, particularly from July to August in suitable temperate climates. Its clusters of golden-yellow flowers bring seasonal color to garden borders, woodland edges, and wildflower planting areas. Flowering time can vary according to climate and growing conditions.
How should Hairy St. John's Wort seeds be sown?
These small seeds are generally best sown on the surface of a prepared, fine growing medium or lightly covered. Autumn sowing is recommended by some specialist wildflower seed suppliers because natural seasonal conditions can help overcome seed germination inhibitors. Keep the growing medium moist and avoid burying seeds deeply. Germination can vary depending on seed quality and environmental conditions.
