I was really disappointed with the plant, it arrived completely dry and never recovered. I had been so patient!

Description
Hypericum x moserianum Little Misstery 'Dunnehyp' is a hardy bush with a sprawling habit. It has no particular demands. Standing 50cm (20in) tall, it partially retains its leaves in winter. Its deep green foliage is bordered with yellow. This variety is also notable for its long flowering from July until September, sometimes October depending on the region. It flowers in successive waves, in the form of bright golden-yellow cup-shaped flowers with red stamens. A hardy plant, resistant to drought, ornamental, and flowering, it will easily find its place in the garden.
Hypericum x moserianum Little Misstery 'Dunnehyp' is a variation of Hypericum x moserianum ‘Tricolor’ obtained in 2010 in Ireland by Kieran Dunne. This development has more colourful foliage and more significant growth. It belongs to the Hypericaceae family. This fairly fast-growing bush usually reaches 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) in height and 50 to 100cm (20 to 39in) in width, sometimes less depending on growing conditions. It has a bushy and rounded habit, rather sprawling, carried by flexible stems, which are red to purple in colour. They are adorned with entire leaves, semi-evergreen to evergreen in a mild climate. The slightly bluish-green leaves are pointed, leathery, and 5cm (2in). It blooms practically four months of the year, from June-July to September-October, with a break during the hottest weeks. The flowers are produced abundantly at the end of the branches. They are solitary or grouped in small bouquets of 2 to 5. They measure 6cm (2in) in diameter and are composed of 5 rounded, golden-yellow petals arranged in an open cup. The centre of the flower is occupied by a crown of protruding stamens with red anthers. This flowering is followed by the formation of a few conical fruits of red colour, which turn blue when ripe.
St. John's wort is appreciated for its very long flowering and ease of cultivation in all soils and under all our climates, even by the sea and even in the shade. If you like yellow flowers, this variety is ideal for planting in a new garden, even when you are a beginner in gardening. It excels in shrub borders and in flowering hedges, in the company of the blue flowers of caryopteris, perovskia, nepeta , or perennial geraniums. Its yellow flowering will not compete with the more pastel spring flowerings. Perennials with red summer flowering such as Epilobium canum or shrubby sage will form cheerful little scenes in a sunny garden. Perfectly hardy, plant in full sun in cool climates, and in partial shade in hot ones. Protect its foliage from scorching sun.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
