According to Paghat's Garden, Salad Burnet (Poterium sanguisorba) was loved by the Elizabethans who "would float the leaves in a glass of wine, because in the poetic language of flowers popular at the time, Salad Burnet indicated a merry mood or ribald gathering"
Sounds good to me!
I'll be floating it alongside some Borage in my Pimms at our next ribald gathering if it all survives. Watch this space..
