Arrivée cet automne, en bon état mais pas très vigoureuse, puis rapidement disparue avant l'hiver. Là en avril, une dizaine de leafs fines vert vif sont sorties, alors même si ce n'est pas l'euphorie, elle est en train de s'en sortir.

Description

The Sanguisorba officinalis 'Chocolate Tip' is a perennial that forms very stiff inflorescences on which small purple-chocolate flowers of rare intensity gravitate.

Large perennial plant forming a robust stump with strong fleshy roots. In spring, it has a large rosette of compound leaves of a tender green colour. From May, large very stiff inflorescences bloom into small ovate chocolate flowers.

The Sanguisorba 'Chocolate Tip' is suitable for herbaceous borders, meadows in a natural style or contemporary-style beds. Plant it in deep, moist, and well-drained soil.
