    I am trying to Identify a Shrub growing in my Garden in Essex, UK. The Shrub is Evergreen, and fully Hardy, it is about 2.5 Metres High, and 2 metres across, it is in Bloom in June and July, and bears a large number of Flowers. The Flowers resemble those on the ground covering "Hypericum".
    I attach a Photo of a Bloom, and will appreciate any Help

    Another common one looking like this is Rose-of-Sharon Hypericum calycinum.

    That last produces larger anthers relative to the diameter of the flower.

    Looks like St. John's Wort. I have a huge bed of it in my yard. Great groundcover!
