drooping hypericum
Happy New Year! Last year I bought 2 hypericums for the semi shady side of my garden. They did very well except that they both grow straight up for about 20 - 30 cms, which is about the height they were when they arrived, and from then on they grow and almost a 45 degree. I do not know whether this is stretching towards the afternoon sun or maybe the wind swirling around my little garden or maybe they are just sad. What to do? Move them? Tie them up or give up on them? Any advice is welcome.

I think a photo would help. It would show if they were drooping from poor health, or, as you suggest, leaning towards the light.
Which hypericums are they?
I found the original label and it says Hypericum patulum `Hidcote`.
It is spreading from the roots as I had someone here who took a cutting at ground level late last year.
How it looks? They look as though they are cow-towing to the opposite fence. I don't think it is ground hugging though.
