Re: Hypericum patulum 'Hidcote'

Chris..this is a gorgeous Hypericum...here's one more I found:
 
 
'Sunburst'   
(H.  frondosum) Charming blue-green foliage is overlaid in summer with an  
abundance of large, bright yellow flowers. AWARDS: PSC  
Zone 5, 3  feet, gr 1, Full Sun  
I do  think these shrubs (sub shrubs?) are a perfect mixed in with 
perennials. They  just have so much going for them.  Sure would be pretty with  
blues or  bluey-purples.

I've also been a huge fan of Hypericum Blue Velvet[TM] from  our old
friend, Paul Cappiello (he was the Director of Horticulture at  
Bernheim and has moved up to Director of Yew Dell Gardens in  Kentucky).

It's has bluish foliage, tops off at 24", and is covered  with yellow
flowers all summer long.  Mine have done very well under a  west window
with average soil and moderate  irrigation.
