Spotted St John’s wort (Hypericum maculatum, Geflecktes Johanniskraut) is a bright yellow wildflower known for its five rounded petals marked with characteristic black dots along the edges. Common in meadows, forest margins, and roadsides, it blooms from midsummer onward and is easily recognized by its bushy stamens and rich coloration. Ecologically, it provides an important nectar and pollen source for a wide range of insects, including bees, hoverflies, and beetles. Its presence supports pollinator populations and contributes to the biodiversity and stability of semi-natural grassland ecosystems. The wildflower is valued in herbal medicine for its antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. It has traditionally been used to treat mild depression and skin ailments, though it may interact with certain medications.
