Hypericum calycinum, Linn. Rose Of Sharon. Aaron's Beard. Fig. 1940. A subshrub, 1 ft. or less high, with many procumbent or ascending 4-angled sts. occurring in thick tufts: lvs. ovate-oblong or oblong, obtuse, evergreen, sub- coriaceous, dark green, glaucous below, 2-4 in. long: fls. large, solitary, or 2-3 together, 3 in. diam.; sepals large, obovate, spreading; stamens long and showy, in 5 clusters, with red anthers; styles shorter than the stamens, divergent: caps, ovate, 4 in. long. July-Sept. B.M. 146. G. 25:333. G.W. 1, p. 197.—A rapidly spreading plant, creeping by woody rootstalks completely covering the soil. Used as a ground-cover abroad. Not very hardy in New England, the annual killing back preventing its covering wide stretches, but not destroying its bloom each year, nor its usefulness in the herbaceous border, or in the margin of a shrubbery. May be protected, and its dark, persistent foliage preserved. Thrives in sun and moderate shade. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
