Agrimonia eupatoria, also known as common agrimony, church steeples, or sticklewort, is a perennial herbaceous plant with yellow flowers that bloom from June to September. The whole plant is dark green with numerous soft hairs. The flower spikes have a spicy odor like apricots, and the plant is a food source for the caterpillars of the snout moth Endotricha flammealis. A refreshing tea can be made from the fresh or dried leaves, flowers, and stems, which has a delicate aroma and was formerly very popular either on its own or added to China tea. Agrimony is known to contain volatile oils, flavonoids, tannins, triterpene glycosides, and more, making it a valuable addition to many natural remedies. In folklore, it was said to cure musket wounds and ward off witchcraft. The plant has been used to make dye with a golden-yellow hue. Experience the benefits of agrimony eupatoria by trying its tea or simply admiring its beauty in your garden.
