Sanguisorba officinalis impresses with dark burgundy-red, egg-shaped flower heads carried on long, slender stems above finely divided foliage. This native wild perennial blooms from summer into autumn and blends beautifully into natural gardens, moist meadows, and perennial borders. Its excellent hardiness and nectar-rich flowers make it a valuable plant for bees, butterflies, and many other pollinating insects.

Watering and Care

Sanguisorba officinalis prefers fresh to moist soil and performs best with consistent moisture. Extended drought should be avoided.

Maintenance

This long-lived perennial requires little maintenance. Old flower stems can be removed in spring.

Location

It thrives in full sun to partial shade with fertile soil.

Tip

The dark red flower heads provide attractive structure well into autumn.

The blooms attract pollinators, enriching the garden's ecological diversity.
