Hypericum prolificum

A small shrub (3-4') with dense, rounded habit. Prolific bloom in sun or light shade attracts many pollinators. Prefers dry-mesic well drained calcareous soils but tolerant of pH & temporary flooding. Although threatened in NY, native populations of H. prolificum are found in our area, and it is an increasingly popular garden plant.
