This is referred to in the texts as a plant of acid heathland and I certainly see it on peaty soils sometimes but the commonest habitat for me is the amongst the acid rocks of montane or sub-montane regions. It's red-touched flowers, beautiful yellow and red-tipped buds together with its dainty habit, make it my favourite St John's-wort.
