Sickle-leaf hare's-ear is a tough, drought-adaptable perennial herb from the carrot family, well suited to cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and naturalistic borders in well-drained soil. It produces cheerful clusters of small yellow flowers beloved by pollinators and requires very little attention once established. Plant it in partial shade to full sun and avoid overly rich or waterlogged soils for best performance.
