Description
Known variously as hare’s ear, thorough-wax, and thorowax, Bupleurum rotundifolium is an unusual annual that produces circular clusters of greenish yellow flowers over blue-green leaves on upright stems. It usually reaches 1 to 3 feet tall, but in rich soil, it can get about 4 feet tall. Spring-planted seeds tend to bloom in mid- to late summer; in following years, the self-sown seedlings often begin in late spring to early summer. Both the flowers and developing seedheads are interesting additions to fresh bouquets. Hare’s ear also makes a nice filler in a young perennial or mixed border while you’re waiting for the permanent plantings to settle in and spread out. It pairs well with a wide range of companions but is particularly beautiful with blue and purple flowers and purple foliage partners. Full sun to light shade. Annual.
Collected in mid to late July 2023. At least 30 seeds. Shipping to US addresses only.
