Hypericum elodes, or marsh St. John's wort, is a creeping wetland perennial that thrives in boggy soils and at the margins of ponds or streams. Unlike most Hypericum species, it requires consistently moist to wet conditions and should never be allowed to dry out. Plant it in full sun to partial shade where water retention is high for best results.
