American burnet

Sanguisorba canadensis (American burnet) forms dense clumps of compound foliage, above which spikes of white flowers emerge in mid-summer to fall.

Unlike some of the more commonly cultivated red burnets, the unique white flower clusters of this native plant can have rather long spires and its flowering is very conspicuous. Spring foliage is very pretty with pink coloring. It’s symmetric leaves make interesting patterns.
