It’s very invasive if allowed to be, keep it in check by reducing the clump in the autumn, does well in pots, and as a rule flowers early June into mid July, as autumn approaches the leaves can take on pinky yellow tones which look great.

Ah! I was wondering what the name was as I have it growing in the front & back of my garden, nice bright yellow & pops back up year after year :o))

I think they used to be part of shrub for hedging when sold in group of five types to give a variegated hedge. Agree with previous comment very invasive, and hardy.

this isn't a shrubby type though, I wonder if you are thinking of Hypericum one of the st john's wort type.
this plant dies down totally in the winter just leaving bare stems that rot away.
