Sanguisorba ‘Proud Mary’ – A Striking, Elegant Addition to Any Garden

Sanguisorba ‘Proud Mary’ is a standout perennial known for its graceful, upright form and dramatic deep red flower spikes that bloom from mid-summer to autumn. With its fern-like, dark green foliage and tall, slender stems, ‘Proud Mary’ adds a touch of sophistication to mixed borders, wildflower gardens, and naturalistic plantings. The slender, bottlebrush-like flowers create a striking contrast against the foliage, offering months of visual interest while also attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Hardy, low-maintenance, and incredibly versatile, this variety is perfect for adding both elegance and movement to your garden.

Why Grow Sanguisorba ‘Proud Mary’?

Dramatic Red Blooms – The tall, bottlebrush-like red flowers stand out beautifully against the green foliage, creating a bold yet elegant focal point in any garden.

Pollinator-Friendly – Loved by bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for a wildlife-friendly garden that supports essential pollinators.

Tidy, Upright Growth – The elegant, vertical form of ‘Proud Mary’ brings structure and movement to borders or naturalistic plantings without becoming invasive.

Long-Lasting Interest – Blooms from mid-summer to autumn, providing vibrant colour and texture well into the cooler months.

Hardy & Low-Maintenance – Fully hardy in the, Sanguisorba ‘Proud Mary’ thrives with little care, tolerating drought once established and resisting pests and diseases.

Planting & Care Guide

Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade, thriving in sunny borders, meadow gardens, or lightly shaded spots with well-drained soil.

Soil: Grows best in moist, well-drained soil but is adaptable to a variety of garden conditions, including clay or chalky soils.

Watering: Regular watering is beneficial, especially during dry periods. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.

Maintenance:

  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a tidy appearance and possibly extend the flowering period.
  • Cut back the plant after flowering to promote fresh growth and maintain a neat shape.
  • Divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and maintain vigour.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Sanguisorba ‘Proud Mary’ pairs beautifully with other late-summer bloomers like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, or Achillea, where its vertical red flowers create a striking contrast to the broader forms and warmer colours of surrounding plants. It also complements ornamental grasses such as Calamagrostis or Deschampsia, adding a dynamic contrast of form and movement. Ideal for adding texture and elegance to wildflower meadows, mixed borders, or naturalistic planting schemes, ‘Proud Mary’ will elevate any garden with its unique, eye-catching presence.
