This one has stumped us all here! Growing in a zone 6 garden in part shade. Unknown if it flowers. Stays low to the ground. In virtually every respect it reminds me of St. John's Wort, but the leaf & stem connection is unlike any type I am familiar with! We have 4 stumped gardeners here who all think it is something different! Any other suggestions (or just agreeing with me that it's Hypericum!:)) would be appreciated!

It will flower in almost total shade with the traditional yellow 5 petalled flower. i'd have to check my records for the rest of the botanical--it wasn't "frondosum" when I bought it but who knows what it is now?
