Why Grow Burnet?

Burnet is a delightful herb to grow in your garden, providing a mild, refreshing flavor that pairs perfectly with salads, soups, and cold drinks. Its delicate, serrated leaves not only taste delicious but also add an ornamental touch to your garden beds, containers, or herb garden. In addition to its culinary uses, Burnet is also known for its medicinal properties, making it a versatile herb you’ll love having in your garden.

Growing Tips:

• Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the final frost date. Lightly cover with soil, as Burnet seeds need light to germinate.
• Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth and air circulation.
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, Burnet is relatively drought-tolerant but thrives with consistent moisture.
• Maintenance: Harvest young leaves for the best flavor, and deadhead flowers to prevent self-seeding if desired. Burnet is low-maintenance and will thrive in well-drained soil with minimal care.

Uses in the Garden:

Burnet is not only a flavorful herb but also a visually appealing plant with its delicate, feathery leaves and small, round flower heads.

• Herb Gardens: Burnet’s compact size makes it an ideal candidate for herb gardens or as an attractive border plant in garden beds.
• Edible Landscaping: Its beautiful foliage and unique flowers can also be incorporated into edible landscaping designs.
• Containers and Pots: Burnet grows well in pots, making it perfect for small-space gardening or patio herb containers.

The mild, cucumber-like flavor of Burnet makes it a versatile addition to a variety of dishes. Use it fresh or dried in:

• Salads: Add fresh Burnet leaves to green salads for a crisp, cucumber-like taste that pairs well with mixed greens.
• Dressings and Sauces: Blend Burnet into vinaigrettes, herb butters, or yogurt-based dressings to enhance their freshness.
• Herbal Teas: Steep fresh leaves in hot water to create a light and refreshing tea, ideal for warm summer days.
• Garnish: Use the delicate, lacy leaves to garnish sandwiches, soups, or cocktails for a beautiful and flavorful finish.
