Hypericum calycinum Rose-of-Sharon C DD I
This introduction from southern Turkey is a favourite ground cover plant around hedges and banks in gardens although it can get quite out of control. The robustness and vigour of this plant means it survives happily in the wild managing to compete even with tall dune species in the area where this one was found.
It can be found throughout the British Isles and in large numbers towards the south of England.
