Planting & Care

Sow Dotted St. Johns Wort seeds in a prepared seedbed or containers. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Germination may be slow and irregular; cold stratification can improve results. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Established plants are relatively low-maintenance. Water during extended dry periods, especially in the first growing season. Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. Divide clumps every few years if they become overcrowded. This native wildflower generally has few pest or disease problems when grown in suitable conditions.
