Shrubby St. John's Wort
Hypericum prolificum.
 
Shrubby St. John's Wort is a perennial wildflower native to the eastern United States where it can often be found growing in prairies, meadows, and pastures, as well as alongside roads, swamps, and rocky stream banks.

Plant grows to around 4 feet in height and produces clusters of bright yellow flowers that bloom from July through September.

Hardy and highly adaptable, this shrub is not fussy about its sun or soil needs and will grow under pretty much any condition you can imagine.

A veritable pollinator magnet that will attract numerous bee species including bumblebees, who are particularly fond of the yellow flowers.
