Plant Highlight
St. Johns Wort
Hypericum frondosum

This sun-loving native, found on the slopes of Stone Mountain, grows in up to 2-4ft in a small, dense shrub. Attractive flowers are an important source of necatar for foraging pollenators at a time of year when most blooms have given way to fruit. St. John's wort is used medicinally all over the world to treat a variety of ailments.
Head out on the mountain to see this spledid plant! What can you find that's essential to wildlife while at Stone Mountain Park?
