Hypericum ‘Hidcote’ – Bright and Hardy Shrub with Golden Flowers

Hypericum ‘Hidcote’ is a compact, evergreen shrub loved for its prolific display of vivid golden-yellow flowers throughout the summer months. Its glossy, deep green leaves provide an attractive backdrop that stays vibrant year-round, making it a reliable and easy-care addition to borders, mixed shrub beds, or container planting.

Flowering occurs from June through September, with the bright blooms attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.

Best positioned in full sun to partial shade, Hypericum ‘Hidcote’ thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates a wide range of conditions, including coastal exposure and urban pollution.

Care tips: Water regularly during dry spells, particularly during the first year after planting. Once established, it is drought tolerant and low maintenance.

Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a neat shape and encourage fresh shoots. Avoid heavy pruning as this may reduce flowering for the following season.

Hypericum ‘Hidcote’ is a tough, vibrant shrub that adds summer-long colour and structure to UK gardens with minimal effort.
