Hypericum × Moserianum ‘Tricolor’

Masses of cheerful, deep yellow, cup-shaped flowers appear on red stems from July to October among strikingly variegated green, cream and pink leaves. This low, spreading, semi-evergreen shrub makes a valuable groundcover plant where space is limited. Less invasive than the ubiquitous ‘rose of Sharon’ (Hypericum calcycinum), it grows equally well in sun and shade, but needs protection from cold, drying winds.
