Bupleurum fruticosum
Bupleurum fruticosum or shrubby hare's-ear is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae.
It is endemic to the Mediterranean region. It lives in sunny hills, walls and rocky places.
It grows in any well-drained soil in a warm sheltered site with full sun. It propagates by seed in containers in a cold frame in spring, and semi-ripe cuttings can also be rooted in summer.
This species makes a very good wind-shelter hedge in exposed maritime positions, though it is slow growing. Plants can be used as a tall ground cover when planted about 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) apart each way.
