'''''Sanguisorba officinalis''''' ('''Great Burnet''') is a plant in the family [[Rosaceae]], subfamily [[Rosoideae]]. It is native throughout the cooler regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]] in [[Europe]], northern [[Asia]], and northern [[North America]]. It is a [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]] growing to 1 m tall, which occurs in grasslands, growing well on grassy banks. It flowers June/July. ==Cultivation== Succeeds in ordinary garden soil[1]. Prefers a good moist soil that does not dry out in the summer, in sun or partial shade[187, 200]. Plants grow tolerably well in very poor soils and likes a dry chalky soil[4]. This species is hardy to about -25°c[187]. The leaves are used in salads because they are mildly reminiscent of cucumber. Selective pruning of apical meristems, such as at flower heads, is used to encourage an increase in leaf production. ===Propagation=== Seed - sow spring or autumn in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out as soon as they have reached a reasonable size. The seed can also be sown in situ in early spring[4]. Division in the spring or in autumn[4]. ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Toten 2.jpg File:Sanguisorba officinalis flower.jpg Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Sanguisorba+officinalis Plants for a Future: ''Sanguisorba officinalis'']    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
