Salad Burnet

Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba minor) is a perennial plant native to Norway and known for its culinary uses. This full-sun lover thrives in moist conditions and adaptable soil types—light, medium, or heavy clay. Growing up to 0.6 meters tall with a width of 0.7 meters, it can be found in hardiness zones 4-8. The plant's edible leaves and shoots make it a valuable addition to gardens for their distinctive flavor, often used in salads and as a garnish. One distinctive feature is its small white or pink flowers that appear in late spring or early summer, adding ornamental value to the garden.
