Sanguisorba 'Japan'

Sanguisorba 'Japan' (Burnet) Sanguisorba 'Japan' is a tall and elegant burnet with a graceful, arching habit that brings real drama to the late-summer border. It produces attractive blue-green pinnate foliage from which tall, wiry stems rise to carry deep crimson, bottlebrush-shaped flowerheads that sway beautifully in the breeze from midsummer through to autumn. A superb plant for pollinators, it is particularly attractive to bees and butterflies. 'Japan' is one of the most striking of the burnets, well suited to naturalistic and prairie-style plantings where its height and movement can be fully appreciated. It works beautifully in the middle or back of a border, combined with grasses and other late-season perennials. Its fine-textured foliage provides interest from spring, and the seedheads extend the display well into winter.
