How to keep Hypericum Tomentosum.
Light
Woolly St. John's wort is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, frequently found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
Temperature
Woolly St. John's wort can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its range may still be constrained by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It grows best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures increase the chance that Woolly St. John's wort will die. In winter, shielding the plant from cold can improve its chances of survival.
Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize a Woolly St. John's wort is in early spring, when it is coming out of dormancy and beginning active growth. Fertilizing supplies essential nutrients for healthy development. Although Woolly St. John's wort has fairly low fertilizer requirements, applying fertilizer once a year can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
