Common Agrimony –Agrimonia eupatoria– grows best in well-drained grassland on sites where there is plenty of sunlight. Plants are attractive to Bees and other insects.
Common Agrimony is a relatively late flowering species. In mid to late summer its attractive brightly yellow spiked flowers brighten up our hedgerows and meadows. Common Agrimony looks best growing with other plants that flower in mid-summer such as Oxeye daisies, Black Knapweed, Meadow Cranesbills and Field Scabrous. Alternative names for Common Agrimony include Aaron’s rod or Fairy’s wand.

How to grow Common Agrimony Seeds
Common Agrimony seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered lightly with compost. Seeds are usually easy to germinate and the seedlings, which are quick to develop, can be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.
