Popular with flower arrangers, hare's ear, Bupleurum rotundifolium 'Griffithii' has bright-green flowers and foliage, the perfect foil for more brightly coloured blooms. Both in the border and the vase, it looks good with white-, red- and blue-flowered plants.
Grow Bupleurum rotundifolium 'Griffithii' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Sow seed in spring or autumn – plants will grow much taller from an autumn sowing. Provide support in more exposed gardens.
