St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) 1g, ~10500 seeds

Description

St. John's wort(Hypericum perforatum) is a native Hungarian wildflower. Perhaps the most curious information about St. John's wort is that it was used in the Middle Ages as an exorcism for its antidepressant, sedative and mood-enhancing properties. Its use as an exorcism is no longer recommended, but it is used both externally and internally as a medicinal herb. Pollinators (especially bumblebees), however, are delighted by its orange pollen.
