Salad Burnet (Poterium minor) plug plants
Price range: £1.25 through £3.95
Salad Burnet (Poterium minor) favours dry, open habitats such as grasslands, rocky slopes, and cliffs. Widespread across England and Wales, it also grows in parts of Scotland and Ireland. This hardy perennial produces small greenish-red flowers on slender stems from May to August. Its distinctive, fern-like leaves release a fresh cucumber scent when crushed, making it a long-valued plant for both wildlife and traditional herbal uses. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, while its low-growing form adds texture to meadows and dry banks.
