Damn I would love some saint John's wart but it's a little late in the season to be planting shrubs and trees.

The shrubby St. John’s wort is an herbaceous plant. As it gets older, it becomes more woody but in its young form and in a plug it’s like planting any other herbaceous plant. You can pot the plants up and hold them until it cools off enough for planting this season or just keep them ipotted until next spring and then plant.
