Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel', Burnet summer water The leaves grow tightly againstLarge, arching and bushy lilac pink "squirrel tails" on tall stems add a whimsical note to the late spring and early summer border. Occasionally they'll produce blooms even longer. Cute, "pinked," gray green oval leaves form a basal clump. It's tolerant of many conditions and deer resistant. It comes to us from Japan and is named after the mountain, Haku. Mature size: 3 ft tall & 2. 5 ft wide Minimum temperature: 0 F
