Species Creeping Agrimony

Creeping Agrimony

Agrimonia repens

Creeping Agrimony is an attractive perennial wildflower native to Europe and Asia. The plant forms a mat of creeping stems that bear small, yellow flowers in summer. The leaves are coarsely toothed, rough, and long-stemmed with a strong scent when crushed. The plant prefers full sun, moist soil, and dry sites, and is semi-evergreen, providing interesting contrast throughout the year. The small bright flowers are useful for attracting pollinators, and the foliage is a great addition to the landscape. Additionally, Creeping Agrimony is a great supporting plant for companion vegetation.

watering

European Agrimony needs to be watered once a week; no more than 1 inch of water should be used at each watering. The soil should be allowed to dry partially between waterings, and you should avoid water-logging the soil. The European Agrimony should be fertilized once a month with a general purpose fertilizer.

sunlight

European Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) does best in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. For optimum growth it should be exposed to at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. The best time of the day for direct sunlight is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when sunlight is strongest. Morning sun is also beneficial for European Agrimony, as this helps to dew and frost.

pruning

European Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) should be pruned annually in late spring, once spring growth has begun and the risk of frost has passed. Prune off any dead or damaged stems, as well as any that are overcrowded. To promote a bushy habit, pinch or cut back the tips of main stems by a few inches. Pruning can also be used to control the size and shape of European Agrimony, by selectively cutting back branches to reduce height and width. An additional trim may be needed in late summer to keep the plant looking tidy.
