Casting a fanciful feminine style all summer long, this gorgeous aptly named Japanese perennial premiers bushy purplish pink tails that gracefully arch downward on upright stems. A clumping base sprouts gray-green scalloped leaves, which showcase intriguing origami-like patterns as they unfurl and promise a long lasting well-groomed appearance.

I'm going to confess here that I'm more than a little in love with sanguisorba. I love the lush foliaged with the neat little pinked edges, I've never had any pest or disease problems with them, and the flowers are utterly unique. In this species, the blooms are bright pink fuzzy bottlebrushes that dangle gracefully from thin, wiry stems. Zone 4 -Joseph
