Cherry red fruits and dark leaves

Hypericum inodorum Magical® Midnight Glow

Super glossy, deep maroon fruits are held atop deep olive green to maroon leaves in late summer and into fall on a compact, yet vigorous plant..

Bright yellow flowers mature to long-lasting, cherry-red berries that create quite a color-play against dark-red leaves. Midnight Glow has improved breeding traits that feature a compact plant with color-drenched, ornamental berries. This new rust-resistant selection is certain to add a splash of color to your fall garden and decorating palette. The maraschino cherry like fruits glow in the sunlight and evening light, like little red lanterns on each shrub. And don’t forget to plant enough so you can use the cuts in your fall arrangements!

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
