A year cycle in the life of ...... at Stonehenge 3 (4”) plants added to the patch of Hypericum Sunny Boulevard under the Crepe Myrtle tree. About half of the Sunny Boulevard did not come back due to Deer gracing on it. Now I am spraying to protect them.

This plant I grew at Morring Hitch years ago. Gardens change and that plant is no longer there but, I did like it.

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 reliable in zone 5.
