Plant details
A spectacular plant, this has good pinnate foliage, similar in shape to salad burnet but on a much bigger scale, and forms a lose clump. In late summer and autumn, tall spikes of narrow white bottlebrush flowers are produced at the tips of long, arching stems, which are set off nicely by the foliage. The flowers begin to open from the bottom of the spikes upwards, making a nice contrast with the immature green buds at the tip. These majestic plants look superb associated with other large moisture-loving plants such as Darmera peltata.
