Salad Burnet – 20x Seeds
(Sanguisorba minor)

Salad Burnet is a hardy perennial herb prized for its finely serrated leaves and refreshing, cucumber-like flavour. Often used in salads, herbal dressings, butters, and summer drinks, it’s a must-have for herb gardens and a favourite among cottage gardeners and chefs alike.

This easy-care plant forms low, compact mounds and produces decorative, globe-shaped reddish flower heads in spring and summer. It grows to around 30–45 cm tall, prefers full sun to part shade, and thrives in well-drained soil. Salad Burnet is also drought-tolerant once established and benefits from regular picking to encourage new leafy growth.

An attractive and edible herb that brings flavour, texture, and pollinator-friendly blooms to the garden.
