I think this is a St John's Wort. If so, should I be cutting it back to new shoots so that it becomes less woody.
ah, it did suffer from rust last year and I had to cut out a load of branches. Good to know about pruning in the autumn, I'll do a bit now and then do it properly in autumn. Thank you.
Mine don't always all get done but they look much better if they're cut right back as far as you can.
I cut them back hard whenever I have time after they have flowered; they love it
Great advice, thank you. Can't wait to give it a haircut, now if only it will stop raining...
The st john's wort used medically is Hypericum perforatum.

Not sure what happens if you eat Hypericum 'Hidcote',
