hi gardening friends. Is it possible to get a hypericum bush that has berries that stay orange red without them turning black. Can someone tell me the variety please. I have one bush but the berries turn black and I would love them to stay orange or red. Many thanks in anticipation of your expertise.

Valerie, the white berries and the the pink ones on two of my hypericums eventually turn black. It would be good if they kept their original colour.
Natural maturing, I don't think you can change that. I like the way everything changes through the seasons
In the sticks near Peterborough
Mine maintains some of its red/yellow/orange tinted leaves over winter for interest, 'little misstery'
The change is inevitable as the berries ripen and mature Valerie.
I have a hypericum androsaemum and much prefer the berries rather than the flowers. I like the change in colour.
Enjoy them while they're there
Thank you guys, Better not dig up the one I have.
