Description
Sanguisorba 'Korean Snow' brings a graceful, airy elegance to summer borders with its slender, bright white flower spikes that droop delicately above attractive grey-green foliage. Flowering from June to September, its blooms resemble falling snow suspended in mid-air, adding height, movement and a distinctive texture to garden planting schemes.
Reaching approximately 150 cm tall with a relatively narrow spread, this hardy perennial is ideal for adding vertical interest without taking up too much space. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. In exposed positions, the tall, slender stems may benefit from support.
For a striking contrast, combine it with dark foliage and red or burgundy flowers, or plant alongside Sanguisorba 'Chocolate Tip' for a beautiful pairing of white and deep red blooms. It also looks wonderful rising above blue Agapanthus and is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
At DutchGrown, we supply Sanguisorba 'Korean Snow' as bare root plants for spring planting. Dispatch begins in mid March.
