A strong, upright Korean collection with short spikes of burgundy flowers on wiry stems to 2m. Late summer flowering. Good soil in sun.

Sanguisorba officinalis makes an excellent addition to the herbaceous border and these tall forms are very good at giving airy height to a boarder without taking up much space or blocking the view.  They are also widely used in modern naturalistic style meadow plantings and very formal gardens combined with airy grasses and clipped evergreen hedges.

Easy and very hardy all that they require is a good soil that doesn't dry out too much in summer.  Adding compost or rotted manure as a mulch in autumn will really help if you have a poor soil.
