Sanguisorba menziesii


Alaskan Burnet

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.468.790


The ornamental Burnet or Bottlebrush are just beginning to be used here in North American gardens. This Alaskan native is ideal for the middle of a sunny border, or in containers. Plants form a low mound of lacy grey-green leaves, bearing bottlebrush spikes of deep maroon flowers in summer. Nice for cutting. Plants prefer a moist site. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. Cut foliage back if it gets tired-looking after blooming.
