Sanguisorba officinalis var. microcephala ‘Little Angel’

Sanguisorba officinalis var. microcephala 'Little Angel' produces slender, bottlebrush-like flower spikes in deep rosy pink to burgundy from midsummer into early fall, swaying gracefully above the foliage and attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Finely divided, fern-like leaves are blue-green with crisp creamy white margins, forming a dense mound that adds delicate texture and bright variegation throughout the growing season. The airy flower stems create gentle movement, while the colorful foliage remains attractive long after the blooms have faded.

Originating from a botanical variety native to eastern Asia, this cultivated selection was chosen for its elegant variegated foliage and refined flowering habit. It is well suited to borders, cottage gardens, naturalistic plantings, and mixed perennial beds, where its graceful flowers and finely textured foliage provide season-long interest.
