Poterium sanguisorba/ Evergreen Perennial

Happiest in full sun, salad burnet can tolerate some shade. It is evergreen here, but at its best in the cooler months. Its 12-18″ hummock-like growth and wonderfully textured leaves makes it an excellent border plant, especially when mixed with cool season flowering annuals such as pansies or violas. In the cooler months, harvest the young leaves and chop to add to salads or vinaigrettes for a wonderful cucumber flavor. It is also delicious when used in soups, potato salad, or mixed with beans or asparagus.
