Sanguisorba 'Scapino' - 2026

Sanguisorba 'Scapino' is a compact, clump-forming perennial with upright stems bearing bright red, bottlebrush-like flower spikes from midsummer into early autumn. The finely divided green foliage forms neat, low mounds, providing a textured backdrop to the vibrant flowers. Its compact yet upright habit makes it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings, adding vertical interest and long-lasting summer colour.

The nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing ecological value. It thrives in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional deadheading to maintain a tidy appearance and prolong flowering. Non-native to the UK, 'Scapino' is valued for its vibrant colour, strong structural presence, and versatility in garden settings.
