Description
This lovely bright yellow wildflower is now one of our most famous "weeds." St. Johns Wort (a native of Europe) occurs commonly along roadsides and hedgerows, and this herb has one of the most glamorous histories in the plant kingdom.
During the Middle Ages, it was hung in windows to ward off witches on St. John's Eve. (June 23). Mostly, it was used as a medicine to treat a number of conditions. And it was the "truth teller" that told young maidens whom they would marry: "Just toss a bunch over your shoulder, and the next man you meet will be your own." St. John's Wort is probably linked to more historical legends than any other wildflower, and its fame has been renewed in the 20th Century. For our purposes, the starry flowers, which are always described as "frothy" due to the crowd of delicate stamens, are lovely in the garden and bunched at the end of stiff stems on dependably perennial plants.
