Creeping St Johns Wort - Hypericum calycinum

            A herbaceous perennial plant which spreads out with its extensive creeping rhizomes and which will flower from late spring and early to mid summer. Some people commonly use St Johns Wort for depression and mood disorders as this plant contains chemicals that act on messengers in the brain that regulate mood and has been used in folk medicine over centuries and is still commercially cultivated to this day. As this plant is commonly harvested at the time of the summer solstice in late June around St Johns Feast Day on the 24th June this is how this plant got its name St Johns Wort.
