A small shrub with big late-season impact. First Editions® Pumpkin Hypericum is a plant that becomes more valuable as the season progresses. Bright yellow flowers cover the plant first, bringing cheerful color to the garden, and then the real show begins as those flowers give way to glowing orange berries. That shift from bloom to fruit is what makes this selection stand out in the landscape. The berries are what make this plant memorable. Pumpkin Hypericum is especially prized for its vivid fall fruit display. The berries color up to rich orange and hold beautifully on the stems, creating a warm seasonal look that feels right at home in autumn gardens and arrangements. If you want a plant that keeps performing after flowering fades, this one delivers. A compact shrub that fits easily into the landscape. This First Editions® selection grows into a low-mounding, rounded shrub that is easy to place in mixed borders, seasonal beds, and decorative containers. It is large enough to make an impact but still manageable enough for smaller landscapes. The neat habit also makes it easy to blend with perennials, ornamental grasses, and other compact shrubs. A strong fit for borders, groupings, containers, and cutting gardens. First Editions® Pumpkin Hypericum works beautifully in sunny borders, grouped plantings, rock gardens, containers, and cutting gardens. It is especially useful in late-summer and fall combinations with mums, flowering kale, rudbeckia, and ornamental grasses. The berrying stems also make it an excellent choice for cut arrangements, which adds a second layer of value beyond the landscape. Easy to grow when given good drainage. This plant performs best in full sun to part shade and in moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it handles heat and short dry periods well, and it is also noted for rust resistance. Good drainage is important, however, because overly wet soils can create problems. To enjoy the orange berries, avoid removing old flowers too early since they develop into the fruit display.
