Sanguisorba albiflora - 2026

Sanguisorba albiflora is a clump-forming perennial with finely divided green foliage and slender spikes of creamy-white flowers. Blooming from midsummer into early autumn, it provides delicate, airy colour and texture in borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing ecological value. The upright, graceful habit makes it ideal for mixed borders, low-maintenance schemes, or naturalistic and meadow-style plantings.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is low-maintenance, benefiting from occasional deadheading to prolong flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Non-native to the UK, it is valued for its subtle flower colour, long bloom period, and suitability for adding texture and lightness to perennial borders or wildlife-friendly gardens.
