Hypericum calycinum
Remains evergreen except in cold area winters.
A widely used and attractive evergreen groundcover which is dense, but not invasive. Deep green, oval leaves and 2" gold flowers with pincushion-like, center-clustered stamens in late spring and early summer.
One of the nicest groundcovers when in bloom. Most content in cooler areas away from drying winter winds, although quite tough once established.
