Sanguisorba obtusa or Japanese Burnet is one of the most ornamental Burnets with mounds of grey crimped foliage and tall branching stems with red bottle-brush flowers in summer. This plant is supplied as a budding section of bare-root, meaning they do not come in a pot or container but wrapped up and ready to plant, ideally in the dormant season. Simply dig a hole, place the root in it, back-fill with soil, firm over and water well. You get one with this order.
