Burnet Salad #71

Salad burnet is a hardy, perennial herb known for its delicate, fern-like green leaves with a mild cucumber flavor. It grows in clumps, reaching 12-18 inches tall, and produces small, round, reddish flower heads in summer. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, it’s drought-tolerant and low-maintenance. The leaves are commonly used fresh in salads, dressings, and herbal teas. Regular harvesting encourages bushy growth. Salad burnet is a great addition to herb gardens, edible landscapes, and container gardens due to its attractive foliage and culinary versatility.
