Hypericum prolificum

Shrubby St. John's wort is a pollinator magnet that will buzz with bumblebees in July. It also hosts many species of caterpillar. The unique yellow flowers look like small pompoms. Although not evergreen, it has a similar look to large boxwoods, but with so much more wildlife benefit! Adaptable to tough conditions.
