Low water needs.

Bloom Time: Year around
St. John's wort is a bright yellow, low growing perennial commonly found in sandhills and flat woods. It works well at the front of a wildflower garden as a border plant because it needs little water and sandy soils. It flowers year around, but the blooms are most abundant in
the spring and summer. It is not long-lived, so it may need to be replaced every 3-5 years.
