Intricately and crookedly branched

Hypericum frondosum 'Sunburst' Reference Intricately and crookedly branchedHypericum frondosum 'Sunburst' is the garden refined face of a tough native shrub, a compact, rounded selection that mounds to about three feet and fills each summer with powderpuff golden flowers, the largest in the species at nearly two inches across, each a dense brush of stamens over broad yellow petals.
