Plant description
Erect stems bear densely packed, dark red flowerheads with red pink stamens in midsummer. They seem to hover in large numbers above the decorative mounds of attractive, fern-like foliage. 'Proud Mary' is great for adding vertical interest and movement to a mixed herbaceous bed, or mixing with ornamental grasses for a naturalised effect.

How to care for Sanguisorba Proud Mary:

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
