What’s this plant along my driveway?

CARRABELLE, FLORIDA Rod Gasche

Melinda: The bright yellow flowers, abundant pollentipped stamens and needlelike leaves are clues to this plant’s identity. Several species of shrubby St. John’s wort (Hypericum spp.) are native to Florida. Gardeners in other regions can find St. John’s wort species that are native to their areas, too. St. John’s wort is a great pollinator plant and a favorite of bees.
