Good plant #114 - Sanguisorba 'Menziesii'


This is an early flowering perennial variety. It is reliable and floriferous. The oval flowers rise above clumps of bluey-grey leaves. Looks nice with stipa tenuissima.

It prefers moist soil and will tolerate sunny and shady-ish sites.

You can divide it in spring, which I recommend as it is a rapid spreader.
