Burnet is ideal for both herbaceous borders and naturalizing in wild or waterside gardens. Naturally found in damp meadows, Sanguisorba menziesii thrives in sun or partial shade, provided the soil remains moist. This species features pinnate, glaucous leaves with distinct veining. Flower stalks emerge from mid to late summer, reaching 2 to 3 feet in height, bearing terminal spikes of crimson-maroon, oval flowers that are excellent for cutting and floral arrangements.
