Hypericum Party Pink

Description

These beautiful semi-evergreen bushy plants have an upright habit, bearing contrasting yellow flowers in mid-summer, followed by ornamental clusters of berries that slowly ripen to pink, but unlike the common variety the berries do not turn black, but retain their attractive pale pink cherry colour. This rare variety is especially popular in cut-flower bouquets, it also has a superb autumn effect. It is best cut back heavily in spring to promote new stems as new foliage quickly grows.

Sowing Advice

Seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. Sow into well-drained, sandy compost at any time of year, cover to their own depth with sand or grit. No artificial heat is needed; seed tray is best left in a cool protected spot and kept moist. Seeds usually germinate in spring, regardless of when sown.
