Fiesta St. John's Wort is a woody creeping semi-evergreen shrublet that is frequently planted as a groundcover. The gently arching stems have distinctly variegated oblong foliage that emerges with a pink flush and mature to medium green with broad creamy yellow margins. Large yellow flowers with bushy stamen cover the plant in summer. Best bloom in full sun and well-drained soils. Heat and drought tolerant once established.
