Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) is a graceful native UK wildflower valued for its tall spikes of small, yellow star-shaped flowers and pleasantly aromatic foliage. Commonly found in grassy meadows, hedgerows, and roadside verges, Agrimony adds height and visual interest to wildflower areas while providing excellent ecological value for pollinators.
This hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soils, particularly in full sun or dappled shade, and is suitable for wildflower meadows, wildlife corridors, and conservation projects. Its upright habit and fern-like leaves bring structure to mixed-species plantings.
