Spotted St. John's Wort (Hypericum punctatum)

From $6.00

I’m a native of NY state and Tompkins County, NY

I have spots on my sepals and petals, hence my common name.

My stems are woody and persist into the winter making nice habitat for overwintering insects.

I’m important for bees, especially the bumblebees

I do not produce nectar, but attract many insects for my pollen.

I am popular to use in teas for medicinal purposes.
