Sanguisorba officinalis ‘Tanna’


Great Burnet

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.468.840


The ornamental Burnet or Bottlebrush are just beginning to be used here in North American gardens. This selection forms a mid-sized mound of lacy grey-green leaves, bearing bottlebrush spikes of deep maroon flowers in mid summer. Nice towards the front of the sunny border or in containers. Great 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.
