burnet

Burnet plants (Sanguisorba minor) should be watered deeply and thoroughly once a week. To ensure that they are getting enough moisture, water until the soil is saturated and water runs out of the pot’s bottom drainage holes. It is important to allow some of the moisture to evaporate between watering, and water again when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. During the growing season, additional watering may be needed if the plant is exhibiting symptoms of dryness or wilting. Keeping the plant in a well-drained soil and in a container with good drainage will help reduce overwatering.

Burnet (Sanguisorba minor) is a plant species that grows best when exposed to full sunlight. It should receive approximately 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, preferably during the hours of 10 am to 6 pm. This plant will suffer if it is not exposed to a sufficient amount of sunlight, so it should be placed in a sunny spot where it can receive its optimal amount of light. In parts of the world where winters are long and dark, extra care should be taken to place burnet in the best possible spot to get the most amount of natural light available. Additionally, during the Summer months, burnet should be slightly shaded during the hottest hours of the day to protect it from the intense sun.

Pruning burnet (Sanguisorba minor) should be done in the springtime once the plant has fully leafed out. This species should be pruned sparingly, removing no more than 1 third of the total foliage. Dead, insect-infested, or diseased foliage should be removed whenever it is observed. Pruning back the foliage to the ground in the late fall can help ensure the plant's healthy return in subsequent growing seasons.
