Hypericum x inodorum 'Elstead' August 22nd

Hypericum Elstead is one of the better Hypericums for berries. The berries start to colour pink in mid-august and last well into the autumn. A medium deciduous shrub with yellow flowers in summer, it responds well to hard pruning in early spring. Quite happy in more or less any soil. Perhaps not as popular as it should be for it is usually neglected. Pruned to ground level each year will ensure a bushy compact shrub - full of flowers in summer and ensuing berries in late summer early autumn
