Introducing our Sanguisorba Minor, also known as Salad Burnet. This delightful perennial herb has been naturalized in Britain since the 16th Century, bringing a touch of elegance to your garden. With its neat evergreen rosettes of leaves, it not only adds beauty but also a subtle cucumber flavor to your summer drinks and salads.
Basking in dappled shade or full sun, our Salad Burnet thrives in various aspects, from south-facing to west-facing positions in your borders. Regardless of your soil type, whether it's chalky, alkaline, clay, heavy, moist, well-drained, light, or sandy, this versatile herb adapts graciously to its environment.
As summer arrives, be mesmerized by the appearance of its unique crimson flowers, attracting a wealth of insects and adding a vibrant touch to your outdoor space. This perennial herb can be grown in containers, ensuring easy access to its foliage for freshly picked salad leaves. If you prefer a more natural setting, it will also flourish in wild gardens, including charming wildflower meadows.
