Bupleurum falcatum

This biennial has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. We grow it for its dainty yellow-green flowers, which appear just after Euphorbia finish. It creates an effect similar to Baby's Breath, but it won't take over the garden. Easy to grow in full sun on average to well-drained soil. Deer resistant. Self-sows.
