Sanguisorba menziesii

Burnet are vigorous perennials that steal the show when they burst into bloom in summer. Give them moist soil in full sun for best results. They tend to flop so plant them next to sturdier plants.

S. menziesii has brilliant black-red spikes and is the first of the burnets to flower.
