Burnet 'Pink Elephant', 'Pink Elephant Burnet
Highly decorative with its profuse and attractive, lipstick-pink, bottlebrush flowers rising on tall slender stems, Sanguisorba tenuifolia ‘Pink Elephant’ is a lovely addition to the garden. Attractive to butterflies and pollinators, the flowers bobble in the air and produce charming floating dots of color in the border. This Japanese Burnet features an equally beautiful foliage of intricately cut, light green leaves. A billowy see-through perennial that is perfect to add a transparent effect in the border and create a beautiful hazy tapestry.
