Perfect for pollinators

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”.

How to grow Hemp agrimony Seeds
Hemp agrimony seeds should be sown thinly in spring or autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered lightly with compost. Seedlings can be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.

RHS Perfect for Pollinators.
The RHS Perfect for Pollinators mark is only given to plants that support pollinating insects in gardens. Bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and many others visit flowers to feed on nectar and pollen; while doing so they transfer pollen and increase seed set
and fruit development. Find out more at: rhs.org.uk/plants
