Sanguisorba tenuifolia var alba 'Korean Snow'
An improved variety, this elegant cottage garden plant brings a touch of sophistication with its graceful form and delicate beauty. Its finely dissected, fern-like leaves create a soft, feathery texture, providing an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season. In late summer, tall, slender stems rise above the foliage, each crowned with clusters of small, white, catkin-like flowers. These airy blooms add a light, ethereal quality to the garden, gently swaying in the breeze and catching the late summer sun.
This plant is perfect for adding subtlety to vibrant colour schemes, providing a calming contrast to bolder flowers and helping to create balance within the garden. Its understated charm makes it particularly effective when naturalised, blending effortlessly into meadow-like plantings or wildlife gardens, where it can enhance the beauty of surrounding plants without overpowering them.
Not only is it visually appealing, but it also serves as an excellent companion for pollinators, attracting bees and other beneficial insects. Whether used in cottage gardens, woodland edges, or wildlife-friendly landscapes, this versatile plant is sure to bring a touch of grace and elegance to any setting, while contributing to the garden's overall ecological health.
