Great Burnet -sanguisorba officinalis– grows best in damp meadows on clay soils and in full sun or semi-shade where plants are important for a wide range of insect life such as bees. Great Burnet typically grows to about a metre in height and produces beautifully coloured, crimson flowers between July and September. Great Burnet looks best growing with other meadow plants that flower in mid to late summer such as Black Knapweed, Field Scabious, Meadow Cranesbill, and Meadowsweet
