Sanguisorba 'Pink Elephant' produces masses of squiggly bottlebrushes on tall stems that are deep pink with light pink stamens.
A downright useful and unusual Japanese perennial due to the masses of squiggly bottlebrushes held on the upright stems. Sanguisorba ‘Pink Elephant’ produces masses of finger-like clusters or spikes on tall stems that are deep pink with light pink stamens. Flowering occurs over a long period in the summer. The clumping foliage is gray-green with great texture of serrated edges and nice presence throughout the year. Does well in average garden conditions as well as moist sites.
