Bibliographic reference
Hemp-agrimony is a tall plant found along riverbanks, as well as in damp grasslands, marshes, fens and wet woodland areas. The small pinkish flower clusters appear in the summer months and tempt a variety of insects including butterflies. Its common name derives from the resemblance of its leaves to hemp or cannabis plants, although the plants are not from the same family.
