Agrimonia parviflora

Swamp agrimony is a tall plant with pretty yellow flowers that grow in wet areas. It loves to be near water and can often be found in marshes and swamps.

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The swamp agrimony has tall, slender spikes adorned with many small, bright yellow, five-petaled flowers. Its stems and leaves are covered in fine hairs, and the leaves are deeply cut with a mix of large and small leaflets, giving it a somewhat fern-like appearance that differentiates it from simpler-leaved wetland plants.
