Pimpinela menor
Sanguisorba minor
Una perenne herbácea de porte bajo y redondeado, de la familia de las rosáceas, cultivada principalmente en jardines de hierbas por sus hojas jóvenes y tiernas, que tienen un sabor leve a pepino y se usan frescas en ensaladas, sopas, mantequillas aromatizadas, vinagres y bebidas frías. Nativa del norte de África, el oeste de Asia y Europa, forma una roseta de folíolos pinnatisectos y dentados, y en julio echa tallos filiformes rematados con cabezuelas redondeadas de flores verdosas con estilos teñidos de púrpura, según el Missouri Botanical Garden. Es siempreverde en climas con inviernos suaves y se resiembra libremente.

2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
