 | Sanguisorba tenuifolia ‘Pink Elephant’ |
| Common name : Chinese Burnet |
| |
| The ornamental Burnet or Bottlebrush are just beginning to be used here in North American gardens. This selection is a big, tall specimen plant, best towards the back of a sunny border. Plants form a mound of lacy green leaves, bearing arching bottlebrush spikes of rose-pink flowers in late 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.
