Kolmiglow Magical® Midnight Glow St. John's Wort

Magical® Midnight Glow St. John’s wort is a compact shrub grown for yellow flowers and glossy, dark red fruits that stand out against green-to-maroon foliage. The berries color up from late summer into fall, extending the display after flowering. ## Site and size Grow in full sun or part shade in moist, well-drained garden soil. Plants reach about 30–36 inches tall and wide, a scale suited to borders, foundations, containers, and cutting gardens. [Plants Nouveau’s cultivar profile](https://www.plantsnouveau.com/plants/shrubs/hypericum-magical-midnight-glow) gives the size, zone 6–9 range, yellow flowers, maroon fruit, and rust resistance. The patent names the selection ‘Kolmiglow’ and describes its dark foliage and glossy red fruit ([USPP26242P2](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP26242P2/en)). ## Seasonal interest Flowers open in spring or early summer, depending on conditions; the persistent red fruit is most noticeable from late summer into fall. The combination works well where fruiting stems can be seen close up and cut for seasonal arrangements. ## Maintenance Prune in early spring to encourage a full plant and abundant flowers and fruit. Keep moisture even during establishment, then water when the soil begins to dry. Allow good drainage and remove any damaged or crowded stems as needed.
