Help identifying this pretty bush with yellow flowers

12 years ago

I found these beautiful bushes with tiny yellow flowers in the parking lot of a vacant building. I took some cuttings to see if I can root them but I have no idea what they are so I don't know if I should put them in water or soil. The bushes were about 3-4 feet tall and about 3 feet in diameter. Here are the pictures. Thanks!!!

Thanks all for your responses. It's just in our back garden in Surrey. It is south facing and the weather is scorching at the moment so that may explain the bloom. We've just moved in to this house and inherited this lovely garden so I don't know how this plant usually fares. I will do my best to look after it! Thanks all.

Thank You missingtheobvious. You nailed it. I had never seen this plant before. I have two other St. Johns Worts growing here on the property, but would not haved dreamed of the relationship.

LOL @ Mary and treelvr, a little DOES go a long way, hah! I love chaparral sage too, and you''re right, Mary, too much water, especially in summer, will kill it quickly. My established plants only get watered every other week in summer and once a month in winter. Fun plants, and fun discussion. If you get one Glendale_gardener, keep us posted! Happy gardening!
