Sanguisorba menziesii

I’ve always had a soft spot for Sanguisorba, and Sanguisorba menziesii is one I return to time and again. It’s not a plant that shouts for attention, but its rich crimson flowers seem to float effortlessly above the foliage, bringing movement and an unrivalled softness. I love using it to knit planting schemes together, allowing it to thread naturally between bolder plants, creating depth, texture and a relaxed, informal feel.
