What is this please?

[Small pumpkin]

I’ve been acquiring cuttings for my new garden .

I got it a couple of weeks ago when it was very cold. So just put it in a vase in the house rather then pot it up in the polytunnel. It’s now flowered.
Can anyone put a name to it please.

I have no idea what it is, but it is very pretty

The leaves look like camellia,if it is,it likes ericaceous compost but it might not be that,it is pretty.

Looks like one of the Hypericum family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum
Tough old things - bright and cheerful and the bees love it.

That’s it VC. Thank you.

I thought it was a tough thing as it was still flowering up here in November. And it looks very bee friendly

The one I have seems to flower off and on all year round. I like it because its bright and sunshiny.

I think I might have that,I’ve never known what it was,I cut it right down every year to make way for crops,it loves growing back into a ball shape if you leave it,I leave some stems with buds on but reduce the width & make space below so the plants narrower. Its quite forgiving with hard pruning. Its just been flowering (photos from 30th June 2017 & a photo from Thursday you can just see it on the right hand side). I wonder if it’s the same,it might not be

To be fair, some Hypericum species are weeds.
St John's Wort is a Hypericum. It's a native species, fairly low-growing, and spreads like wildfire. It's an invasive species and considered a noxious weed in many other countries, where it is not native.
The larger, shrubbier species tend to be less problematic, although even they can spread.

St. John’s wort is used in some antidepressants.

Used lots in flower arranging when it forms berries.
