Description

Hemp-agrimony is a tall and bushy plant which is in no way related to the plants hemp or agrimony (4). It has a woody rootstock and downy shoots that may have short branches with toothed segments, but the leaves on stem braches are lance or egg-shaped (2). The flat flower heads are pinkish-purple or, more rarely, whitish (5) and have earned the plant the local name of ‘raspberries and cream’ in some areas (6).
