description_en: Genus of approximately 18 species of rhizomatous perennials, most occurring in damp meadows, with a few from dry, grassy or rocky sites, in temperate and cooler regions of the N. hemisphere. They produce alternate, pinnate leaves, with mostly oblong to elliptic, toothed, neatly veined leaflets, which in some species are glaucous. The leafy, wiry stems bear dense or loose, bottlebrush-like, terminal spikes of small fluffy, flowers, with red, pink, white, or greenish white sepals and prominent stamens, but no petals. Burnets are suitable for growing in a herbaceous or mixed border, and for naturalizing in a damp meadow garden or by water. Many species provide unusual flowers and foliage for cutting.
