This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
↑Description & Identification
Compound leaves are pinnately arranged, in which large leaflets alternate with small ones.
↑Habitat
The common name "Roadside agrimony" can be somewhat misleading; although this plant can occur along roadsides, it is more frequent in natural areas, including open woodlands, woodland edges, streambanks, lake shores, open floodplains, and swamps. Prefers slightly less wet conditions than A. parviflora.
↑Uses
Sometimes cultivated in gardens, where it is valued for its slightly showier flowers than some Agrimonia species,
