Broombush
Hypericum prolificum
Broombush (Hypericum prolificum) is a tough, adaptable native shrub that produces cheerful golden-yellow flowers throughout summer with minimal care. It tolerates a wide range of soils and light conditions from full sun to part shade, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for borders or naturalized areas. Established plants are fairly drought resilient and attract bees and butterflies reliably each season.
