Why choose Sanguisorba in the garden?
Bloodroot, also known by its botanical name Sanguisorba, is known for its robust growth and decorative flowers that attract both bees and butterflies. The perennial thrives in well-drained soil and requires minimal care, making it an obvious choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
The characteristic flower shape provides height and structure in beds and combines beautifully with other perennials such as grasses, lavender or roses.
Use and care of Sanguisorba
Sanguisorba is versatile and can be used in many parts of the garden, from perennial beds to nature-inspired areas. It flowers from June to August and can be easily cut back after flowering to encourage new growth. Sanguisorba is tolerant of both sun and partial shade and does well in both dry and slightly moist soils.
For optimal growth, regular fertilization is recommended during the growing season, but the plant is generally very low maintenance.
