stumbled upon this while lookin for it online...


The name Wort is thought to be derived from the Old English word for plant. The origins of the designator "St. John" might be attributable to it?s medicinal usage by the Knights of St. John in Jerusalem to heal the wounds of Crusaders or that it blooms around the Christian Feast of St. John.
Thanks for the info. This I didn't know either.
