<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Hypericum prolificum is one of the shrubby Hypericums native to central Virginia, and probably the most likely one to be cultivated, as it is a nice full shrub
with showy flowers and does not require wetland soils. It is an edge species in my experience, but I have not seen it behave aggressively. If you go to
<a href="http://out.accessify.com/visit?domain=vaplantatlas.org">http://out.accessify.com/visit?domain=vaplantatlas.org</a> and enter Hypericum prolificum in the search window, you will find the Virginia Plant Atlas page for the species. You gotta love showy
stamens!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
