Great Burnet, organic seeds
Eco
Information
On long, lanky stems, small, dark reddish-brown flowers sit in a small bundle. The perennial plant is bushy and likes to be moist but still well-drained. It grows large in sun or partial shade.
The serrated leaves are edible and have a taste reminiscent of cucumber. It is also called blood still as it has traditionally been used as a medicinal plant, including as a tea to promote digestion. Fresh, peeled roots have also been used on minor burns to relieve and counteract inflammation.
Sow shallow indoors in early spring. If the seeds have not germinated within 1-2 months, they may need stratification (cold treatment) to wake up.
