Bupleurum 'Green Gold' is an elegant and distinctive annual, prized as much for its understated beauty as for its striking visual impact. Its upright stems bear chartreuse-green, almost translucent bracts that surround small, discreet flowers. The overall effect creates a light and luminous texture, highly sought after in flower gardens and plant arrangements.

Native to Europe, Bupleurum rotundifolium integrates naturally into naturalistic gardens and flower-filled vegetable patches. Its growth is regular and structured, without exuberance, making it an excellent companion plant. It provides contrast, rhythm, and a unique color that highlights more colorful flowers.

In the garden, bupleurum prefers sunny spots and well-drained soil. It self-seeds easily and requires little maintenance once established. Its summer flowering is consistent, and the stems remain sturdy even in moderately windy conditions.

• Sowing: Easy germination

• Cultivation: Easy plant to grow

• Growing season: Warm season

• Growth: Summer growth

Note: Direct sowing is preferable for stronger stems. Overly rich soils promote foliage growth at the expense of stem strength.

Historically, some species of bupleurum have been used in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in Asia. However, Green Gold is now cultivated primarily for its ornamental value and is not intended for common culinary use.
