Fresh Seeds of Hypericum hircinum (Fragrant St. John's Wort / Tutsan).

An enchanting perennial shrub, growing to around 2-3 ft in height, gracing the garden with its understated yet captivating presence.

Spring foliage emerges in hues of blue-green with red undersides, and often red edges. As summer unfolds, the shrub is adorned with an abundance of delicate, golden-yellow flowers with long stamens, which beckon bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
