Plant Profile: Bupleurum rotundifolium

Hare's Ear, a biennial member of the carrot family, is native to Asia and is cultivated in gardens for its striking flowers and attractive leaves. These plants are excellent for use in floral arrangements and typically bloom from summer through fall.

They thrive in well-drained soils that range from moderately moist to dry, preferring full sun to partial shade. Reaching heights of 1 to 2 feet, they are ideal for placement in the front or middle sections of flower borders. If left untrimmed, they will readily self-seed.
