Other: Salad Burnet is an evergreen herb with edible leaves that can be harvested year-round. The mild cucumber-flavored leaves can be eaten raw in salads or on sandwiches, enjoyed cooked in soups, or dried and used for tea.

Bees will enjoy the flower heads that appear on spikes over the leaves, and small animals will eat the seeds in fall and winter.
