The Plants
Sanguisorba 'Tanna'
japanese burnet
£9.00
Spires of dark red blooms appear above crimped, blue-grey foliage from summer through to autumn. A lovely, compact burnet, introduced from Japan, spreads slowly to form a 40cm wide mass. This popular and showy species looks wonderful when allowed to naturalise in large swathes in meadows or prairie-style planting schemes.
