Sanguisorba
Burnet
A profusion of oblong, catkin-like blooms resides above decorative pinnate foliage, generating interest for months. Happiest in a sunny spot where the soil stays moist, these hearty perennials offer contrasting clarity to softer, less defined forms in borders or in more naturalized plantings.
Set in motion by the slightest breeze, the bevy of chubby maroon thimbles roosts on firm, willowy branched stems above a ferny low-growing fresh green clump. ‘Morning Select’ is a new vigorous perennial that Scottish Sanguisorba expert Gavin McNaughton includes on his favorites’ list. Abiding wet conditions and clay soil, its pinnate foliage plus early blooming close-knit flowers afford a wild yet refined touch in borders or natural-style plantings with Pennisetum ‘Karley Rose’, Calamagrostis brachytricha and Cirsium ‘Trevor’s Blue Wonder’ nearby.
Blooms June–August
