St. John’s Wort is a well-known perennial from our meadows and fields. The gardeners, however, selected species which are shrubby and have additional features for common use in gardens. MIRACLE® is an enchanted series of a few hybrids producing profusion of multi-coloured berries in autumn. The breeding program started in 2010 and was conducted by a Dutch breeder Wilhelmus T.J. van den Hoogen.Description of the plant:
The name of this St. John’s Wort MIRACLE® BLIZZ looks like one of those many omnipresent internet acronyms. But what if it is a play on words – a combination of bliss and blizzard. Because the berries of this hypericum are snow white and combined with fresh yellow flowers they look absolutely blissful. Flowers open in several flushes from late June until late September. Leaves are deciduous, broadly ovate, dark green with blue-green hues. The plant forms dense shrubs with profusion of flowers and berries.St.John's wort loves in full sun and moderately fertile soil that is very well drained but evenly moist. Prune young plants by one third or one half in spring, and rejuvenate older plants by cutting back about 5-7 cm above ground. But don’t do it regularly, only light pruning is recommended if done annually. Fully hardy to about -23°C (USDA zone 6).
