Dotted Saint John's Wort

A famous plant in natural medicine and a native wildflower of the Midwest, Atlantic coast and into eastern Canada. This pollinator magnet is super easy to grow and is a beautiful perennial addition to the medicinal garden, as its flowers produce the highest amount of hypericin, the purple/red tinted juice that has holistic vitality and medicinal qualities. Be sure to take precautions and consult with a physician before growing and using your own medicinal plants.
