The native Tall Agrimony is common in our area. It prefers partial sun and moist to slightly dry loamy soil. Habitats include upland woodlands, upland savannas, thickets, swamps, woodland borders and areas along woodland paths. This perennial is 2-4' tall with hairy stems and alternate compound leaves toward its base that are widely spreading and odd-pinnate with 3-11 primary leaflets (up to 4" long and 2¼" across) with 1-4 pairs of secondary leaflets (less than ½" in length) inserted between the primary leaflets. Long spike-like flower racemes occur at the top of the stems. The flowers are 1/4-1/3" across with 5 oval yellow petals and 5 to 10 yellow stamens with yellow to orange tips.
