Burnet Saxifrage – Pimpinella saxifraga

Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) is an elegant native umbellifer with white flower umbels and finely pinnate foliage. It thrives in lean grasslands, verges and light hay meadows and attracts a wide range of beneficial insects: wild bees, hoverflies and parasitic wasps. Late-summer flowering makes it a key plant for biodiverse wildflower meadows that keep blooming into autumn. Best in dry to moderately moist, poor calcareous or neutral soils in full sun. Drought tolerant.
