Product Details
Bupleurum rotundifolium 'Grifithii' Seeds
Bupleurum is a super hardy annual with unusual leaves and zingy yellow/green flowers. You may know it as Hare's Ear or Throw Wax. It's a lovely foliage and filler plant and very easy to grow.
If you grow flowers for cutting this is a brilliant foliage plant to choose because it combines well with jewel colours and pastel shades too.
Sow seeds in spring for summer flowers then sow again in late summer or early autumn for early plants next year.
