Grow the versatile "St. Johns Wort" herb, from freshly harvested Hypericum perforatum seeds. St. Johns Wort is a tender flowering herb that grows to a mature height of roughly 24 inches tall. It displays small, yellow flowers throughout mid to late summer, and has many medicinal uses. These attractive flowering herbs are commonly known as St. Johns Wort, due to the fact that they were once harvested on St. Johns Day. The plants bare a traditional use of being hung above religious icons in the house, to ward off evil spirits. Categorized as a tender Perennial flowering herb, or a "short-lived perennial," St. Johns Wort will produce a deep root system in it's initial year of growth. If the winter temperatures aren't too harsh, the plants will use this root system to return the following year after all plant life on the surface has wilted. When the plants flower in the summer, you can wait until late fall to harvest St. Johns Wort seeds from the spent blooms. The seeds can also be allowed to drop to the bare ground beneath, to establish new plant life the following season.
