Estimated Native Range
Summary
Sanguisorba albiflora, commonly known as White-Flowered Burnet, is a deciduous perennial herb, and is native to the grasslands and meadows of Japan. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). This plant features pinnate leaves and small, dense, globular inflorescences of white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. The flowers are not particularly showy but have a unique architectural quality that adds interest to garden compositions.
White-Flowered Burnet is valued for its low maintenance, textural foliage, and the subtle charm of its flowers. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, cottage gardens, and as a border plant. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, though it can tolerate some drought once established. It is not known for any significant disease or pest problems, making it a reliable choice for many garden settings. While not aggressive, it can self-seed in optimal conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
