A superb choice for wildlife-friendly ponds, Eupatorium cannabinum (Hemp Agrimony) is a tall, native marginal plant known for its soft, dusky pink flower clusters that bloom from mid to late summer. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it ideal for creating a more natural, biodiverse pond setting.
With its upright stems and lightly textured foliage, Hemp Agrimony adds height and structure to the back of pond margins or boggy areas. It works particularly well in informal or natural-style planting schemes, blending seamlessly with other native species.
Hardy and low maintenance, it thrives in moist soils or shallow water and will establish easily in the right conditions, returning year after year with minimal input.
