name of a hypericum variety?
In a bunch of flowers there is a stem of berries from this hypericum. They are a rosy pink colour about 1cm big and fully ripen to a dark brown. I'am going to try to grow them but any one know which variety it is. More to the point will it be hardy up here in east yorks?

I agree with Louise, it sounds like the 'Elstead' variety,as I have this one too.Its
a nice size,and lovely to see the changing colours on the berries.

thats great thanks Ladies. It doesnt sound too big either. Finding a sunny spot in my garden might be the problem however. It seems to have smallish flowers too. I will try and grow the seeds.

And, it's a good fast grower !
That was actually the reason i removed 2 of them !!!
I'd sited them wrongly really and where they were just didn't allow for that growth :-/

I've had a berrying one Seaburn.
There are several types that have berries but the one i had was H inodorum 'Elstead'.
This one reached about 3.5' high and about the same width.
They like sun and free draining soil.
