Hi everyone! I have some St. John’s Wort that isn’t looking very well. Does this look like a watering issue?

It could be. I'd use a soil meter to see what it needs. That will tell you if it's too dry/wet. It can also tell you if the soil pH is out of whack. If that's all good, it might be the lighting. The leaves look a little sun burnt.

I agree with the other comment, but I think it’s more lighting involved as not the entire plant is affected. Which if it was water and or soil it would usually affect the entire plant.

It’s in a south facing bed so it gets full sun. The nursery where I got it said that would be ok. 🤔 how does one control the lighting of an outdoor plant? Lol should I transfer it to a different bed? I just planted this a little over a week ago.
