ST JOHNS WORT HYPERICUM PERFORATUM - 0.5 GRAM (WILD) ~ 4,500 SEEDS

Item Description

St. John's Wort, (Hypericum perforatum) is a shrubby perennial delivering an attractive flourish of bright yellow flowers.  Reddish-brown fruit capsules ripen in September and persist well into the winter.  Will readily self-seed.

Well know over the years for its herbal uses it fell out of fashion last century but has once again attracted attention for its alleged properties related to remedying depression. 

 Please note this plant should not be used for any medicinal use without specific medical advice as it can interfere with other prescribed medicines.

  • Can be direct sown to the growing position in autumn or spring scattered thinly over finely prepared soil.  Do not cover
  • Alternatively sow in trays under cover 10-12 weeks prior to the last predicted frost.  Surface sow and gently press in.  Do not cover seed as they need light to germinate. 
  • Germinates best at 60-70F, averaging 15-30 days from a spring sowing.
  • Prick out to trays / pots when large enough to handle and grow on.
  • Plant out after the last frost, gradually acclimatising plants grown under cover.

Germination notes

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - Please note seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, and type of soil, watering, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media.

Although we do everything possible to get seeds to you in the best possible condition and will provide as much help as possible, these factors are totally outside of our control and once you receive the seeds its over to you. Consequently, we can take no responsibility for the suitability to your local conditions of any variety offered, the indicative cultivation advice provided or ultimately the varieties performance. As such you should seek local advice to carefully ensure your local conditions and the time of season are appropriate to the variety purchased.
