| Positive | myclayjar | On Apr 25, 2009, myclayjar from Elgin, TX wrote: In Zone 8 I have this growing in sandy, alkaline soil in morning sun & afternoon dappled shade. It has 1 bloom set right now (April). I'm looking forward to many more.
Our area has been in an exceptional drought & this plant has spread a little in the 4 years I've had it; but has not been invasive. If it ever starts raining it might do better here.
I really enjoy the green all year & the flowers are gorgeous. | | Positive | pbtxlady | On Mar 28, 2009, pbtxlady from Garland, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: This plant grows well for me in shade to part shade. It doesn't bloom in shade, but the foliage is quite healthy and resembles creeping thyme. It can be a thug, so it's not really appropriate in a flower bed, but it makes an excellent groundcover. Bears some foot traffic.
After 4 years, my hypericum is nowhere near the 18-24" described above. The tallest areas are about 12". | | Neutral | lwhalliday | On Jun 3, 2006, lwhalliday from Pittsboro, NC (Zone 7a) wrote: This is growing outside an office building in Raleigh, NC. I hadn't noticed the blooms until this spring - and they're beautiful! I had to know what it was, so I did a search here and finally identified it. | | Negative | sparsonsusa | On Jan 11, 2006, sparsonsusa from Castro Valley, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: Highly invasive. I don't recommend planting for any reason, especially in California. | | Positive | alien | On Jun 19, 2003, alien from Lakehead, CA wrote: I love this plant. It's drought and deer resistent. It has beautiful yellow flowers in the summer. I have nasty red dirt and rock soil which it seems to thrive on. I highly reccommend it!
Since it is such a tough resilient plant, I can see where if it was given an easy life (good water & soil) it could become very invasive. But if you have a tough spot for it, I'd give it a try! | | Neutral | smiln32 | On Aug 30, 2002, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote: Aaron's beard grows by underground stems that send up vigorous new growth. It can be invasive in some zones. It actually partially deciduous. |
