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.
What else can you expect from a plant whose variety name says MIRACLE® MARVEL? An extraordinary sight, I believe, and it is correct in case of this St. John’s wort hybrid variety. From midsummer it produces dark maroon berries that follow bright golden yellow flowers. Those open in several flushes from late June until late September. Its deciduous, broadly ovate leaves are dark green with soft maroon hues and completely cover the whole shrub that is well-branched and bushy. MIRACLE® MARVEL hypericum is protected by European Plant Breeders’ Rights patent No. 40679 granted in 2015.
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).
