Plant ID please

Messynessy

Can anyone please identify this growing at the edge of my lawn. 

Fairygirl

Hypericum possibly. It can be a nuisance. 

Lyn

Definitely on both counts @Fairygirl,  spent the last couple of days digging them out.  My own fault for not cutting them down before the berries ripened.

I have never had one single seedling from the three Hypericums that I grow. They are a dark leaved form but doubt it that would make a difference.

Messynessy

That’s interesting thank you. It’s the first one I’ve found in my garden. I’ll pull it out tomorrow. 

Fairygirl

I hate the things @Lyn , apart from when they have the berries. The flowers make my teeth ache because of the brash colour.

Kept under control they're fine, I cut them to the ground in Spring and get the lovely berries on new wood. (They often come in florist bouquets)

GardenerSuze

I cut mine back each spring. They do grow in full sun, think the lack of seed may be the heavy soil 

BlueBirder

Definitely hypericum, beautiful if you love bright yellow. Lots of cultivars but the wild ones and some cultivars can self seed pretty well so will spread. 

GardenerSuze

@Messynessy The leaves will be a plain green as season progresses but then you get the flowers. They can get big and very woody if they are left unpruned. Lots of new ones in the G Centres different coloured leaves and berries.

Messynessy

Thanks everyone. It’s always interesting to find out about new plants. On second thoughts I think I’ll keep it.
