Burnet salad – Sanguisorba minor
Sanguisorba minor is a perennial in Rosaceae, distinct from the anise genus Pimpinella despite some similar common names. Its leafy growth can renew after cutting back. Plants can also spread by self-seeding, while removing spent flowers limits that route of spread. These life-cycle features give useful context for a perennial herb-seed range.
