Sanguisorba tenuifolia ‘Alba’

Description

A gorgeous variety of the Asiatic burnet, with nodding, bottlebrush-like white inflorescences in mid to late summer.  The tiny flowers are visited by myriads of pollinators.
An elegant and fantastic foliage plant in my opinion, due to the shiny, finely divided leaves and tall flowering stems. Try it together with Sanguisorba canadensis, Echinacea, Rudbeckia, like in the featured image.

Germination: said to be best after a couple of weeks at 10-15C, so best started in early spring. Providing one month of cold/moist stratification at fridge temp. (4C) takes away the guessing and promotes good, uniform germination for all warm germinators, so that’s a good option as well.
