Salad burnet, Poterium sanguisorba, is an interesting herb to grow in your garden with it's fern-like leaves, but even more importantly it's an easy to grow, useful herb. It's leaves taste much like cucumber, and can be used whole in salads or chopped into soups and other dishes.

Burnet is a perennial that can be grown from seed, and harvested early the first year. Start indoors to give it a head start or direct seed after the last frost. The first year it will reach 6-8 inches, and you can begin using the leaves when they are about 4 inches high. Cut back your burnet and use the leaves often, this will keep them coming and they won't get large enough to become tough.

You can plant burnet in light shade-but it needs about 6 hours of sun to do well. It's not picky about soil-wet feet in heavy soil can rot the roots, but dry soil is no problem. In mild climates it will continue to grow into the winter months, and it comes back quickly in the spring.
