Sanguisorba 'Plum Drops', 3L
For a dramatic display of colour and texture in the border, look no further than the perennial burnet, Sanguisorba ‘Plum Drops’. Its neat, low-growing foliage forms an attractive base, while bright purple, bottlebrush-like flowers bloom profusely through the summer, held aloft on tall, wiry stems. The delicacy of these fine stems allows the plant to weave effortlessly through neighbouring planting, making it especially valuable for adding vertical interest in a mixed border or prairie-style garden.
