Perhaps it's Sanguisorba.

Thanks Carol for the fast response. I will take a look at Sanguisorba. I have one more picture of the plant here.

Here's an image of the seed pods of the plant. (taken in June).

Melianthus major.

Melianthus major.

thank you very much florauk for the identification. The honeybush is going to become a nice addition to my garden once i get the seeds to germinate.

Since it's a small specimen that may have been purchased in recent years and looks in your pictures like it may be bluer than usual, somewhat purple-tinged it may be the 'Antonow's Blue' cultivar that was selected by the late Steven T. Antonow in his Seattle, WA basement. Monrovia nursery has been supplying this one to garden centers lately.

Whatever the case with this example typical honey-bush is noticeably palish in coloring and pretty large-growing, especially in mild winter areas (up here it may periodically die back or die completely during winter).
