From July to September, its soft lilac-pink flower spikes dangle gracefully from upright stems, swaying gently in the breeze. Their distinctive bottlebrush-like appearance creates an airy, naturalistic effect, making this variety particularly attractive in prairie-style gardens and informal planting schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to approximately 115 cm tall, it forms a neat clump of finely divided, grey-green foliage, adding texture and structure without overwhelming neighbouring plants. It thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. The delicate flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a relaxed, naturalistic display, combine it with ornamental grasses, Echinacea or late-summer-flowering Salvia. Cut back the stems to ground level in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth for the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAt DutchGrown, we supply Sanguisorba 'Lilac Squirrel' as bare root plants for spring planting.
