Description

Great Burnet Plug Plants Sanguisorba officinalis

Common names include common burnet and garden burnet.

This striking perennial wildflower is native to meadows, grasslands, and riverbanks. With tall, upright stems and clusters of deep red, bottlebrush-like flowers, great burnet is a magnet for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its seeds also attract birds, making it a valuable addition to wildlife gardens.

Great burnet thrives in well-drained, moist soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Perfect for cottage gardens or naturalized landscapes, it creates a beautiful, wildlife-friendly space while adding a splash of colour and texture.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic. 

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
