How Do You Grow Hypericum Berries?

The plant produces small yellow flowers with long spikes that emerge from the center of the blooms during the early spring months. Hypericum berries, which develop in the fall, grow along a single stalk rather than in clusters and can range in colors including red, peach, green, yellow and orange.
