Salad burnet is a perennial leafy green with a refreshing cucumber flavour. It is an excellent addition to salads and soups, as well as cocktails, or infused water. It's a striking plant in the landscape with its compound leaves and otherworldly red flowers. It is equally deserving of a place in the ornamental garden as the food forest or permaculture garden. I've found it to be quite drought tolerant.
The young leaves are the tastiest, and they can be harvested almost year round, as the plants don't mind frost.

Shipping within Canada
We ship seeds in Canada via Canada Post's regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-4 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order, but occasionally letter mail takes up to 6 weeks, especially to the Eastern provinces and rural areas.
Customers can now opt for tracked, express shipping options at checkout if you require faster delivery and/or tracking.
