Hypericum elodes (Marsh St John’s wort) Marginal Pond Plant – UK Grown

Hypericum elodes, commonly known as Marsh St John’s Wort, is a charming marginal pond plant perfect for naturalistic water gardens. This native UK species produces bright yellow star-shaped flowers that bloom from July to September. Its soft, trailing foliage provides excellent ground cover at the pond’s edge.

Ideal for planting in shallow water or damp soil, Hypericum elodes thrives in sunny to partially shaded locations. It prefers acidic to neutral conditions and grows well in moist margins or boggy areas.

Growing Hypericum elodes is easy and low maintenance. Simply plant it in aquatic baskets with loam-based soil and place them at the pond margin. Keep the roots just below water level or in very wet soil. The plant will gradually spread, creating a lush, flowering border that supports pollinators and pond life.
