Hypericum, commonly known as St
. John’s Wort, is an excellent addition to a bouquet of flowers. This herbaceous perennial is native to Europe, Asia and Africa, and has been used since ancient times for medicinal purposes and as a decorative addition to a garden. In the United States, Hypericum is most commonly used as a dried floral accent in bouquets, but it can also be used fresh in arrangements.
Hypericum has small yellow star-shaped flowers that bloom between late spring and early autumn. The flowers have five petals and contain five stamens with yellow anthers. The leaves are oval-shaped, dark green and have a leathery texture. The plant also produces a capsule that contains reddish-brown seeds.
Hypericum acts as a natural insect repellent, which helps to protect other flowers in the bouquet. It is also thought to possess astringent, antiseptic and sedative properties. When added to a bouquet, it adds a unique charm and long-lasting beauty. In addition to its decorative qualities, Hypericum can also be used in home remedies and to make teas that are thought to reduce stress and anxiety.
