Hemp Agrimony -eupatonum cannabinum–grows best in wet marshy ground and is commonly found growing on riversides, stream edges, and in damp woodland. However it is not unusual for it to be found on other soil types and will occasionally be found on lighter soils. Hemp Agrimony can be grown in sun or shade and is ideal for a garden pond edge or bog garden where the plants will attract a wide range of insect life such as bees, dragonflies and damselflies. Plants typically grow to between 1 and 4 foot high and produce soft, fluffy pink flowers from June to September. Hemp agrimony looks best growing amongst other wetland plants with similar flowering times for example Common Fleabane, Purple loosestrife, Gypsywort and Water Mint. An alternative name for Hemp Agrimony is “raspberries and cream”.
