How can I grow the herb St. John’s wort?
Answer
St. John’s wort actually does best in rather poor dirt, which is why it is common on the roadsides of Europe and North America. Look for a gravely, acidic soil. If the soil is enriched with nutrients, St. John’s wort will disappear. The herb needs a dormant period, so a winter season is required.
