In the Rosaceae family, this species is one of the rarest medicinal plants. Experts also classify it as an endangered species. The shoots of the flower are tall and straight. The odd-pinnate leaves form a lush basal rosette; their lobes are ovoid in shape and have a serrated edge. Alternately arranged leaf plates grow on the shoots themselves. Small flowers of burgundy or purple color are collected in a dense spike-shaped inflorescence. The best varieties:

• Pink Tanna - dense, spike-shaped inflorescences of pink color are formed on the bush, and at the peak of flowering their heads are directed downwards;
• Tanna - a compact bush produces hard scarlet inflorescences.

Blunt burnet (Sanguisorba obtusa)

This species comes from Japan, and can be found in nature in the mountains. Bushes are never taller than 100 cm. At the tops of the peduncles, spectacular lush inflorescences are formed, which adorn many pink pistils. The stem branches near the base. In the middle part of the shoots, feathery greenish-gray leaf plates grow. The Alba variety is very popular among gardeners: during flowering, the bushes are decorated with snow-white fluffy inflorescences.

Menzies burnet (Sanguisorba menziesii)

This perennial plant forms a vigorous bush, consisting of straight, long shoots. The odd-pinnate leaves of a bluish color form a lush basal rosette. The height of long flower stalks can reach up to 120 cm. Flowering begins in the first days of June, at which time deep pink pipe cleaners are formed on the bushes, which reach no more than 70 mm in length.
