How to Grow Bupleurum from Seed

Growing Bupleurum from seed is straightforward and rewarding. To start, you can direct sow the seeds, ensuring they receive light by not covering them too much. Bupleurum has a taproot, so it's best to avoid growing them in seed trays for extended periods as they prefer a lot of space for the roots to grow.

The green foliage of Bupleurum has an excellent vase life, and by sowing in succession, you can enjoy this plant all summer long. The stems are especially attractive after flowering, as the seedpods turn yellow and look great with late-summer flowering plants. Cut the stems after flowering to enjoy the decorative seedpods.

By following these steps, you can successfully grow Bupleurum and enjoy its beautiful foliage and flowers in your garden.
