Water: Originating from temperate regions, hairy agrimony thrives in moderately moist environments and regulates water use effectively. Weekly watering maintains its moisture balance, while rainwater during the growing season supports its needs, making hairy agrimony a low-maintenance choice for gardens.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, hairy agrimony needs balanced fertilizers with equal nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applied biannually. Lighter, frequent feedings during growth periods support vigor, while mature plants require less. Using slow-release formulas ensures consistent nutrient delivery, promoting healthy growth and flowering year-round.

Pruning: Hairy agrimony has hairy stems and serrated leaves, requiring careful pruning in early to late spring. Remove dead or damaged branches to enhance growth, airflow, and light penetration. Use sharp, sterilized tools and avoid excessive cuts to minimize stress and boost flower production.

Propagation: Hairy agrimony is a perennial herb characterized by hairy stems and serrated leaves. For propagation, divide the mature root clump into sections, minimizing root damage. Replant promptly, ensuring adequate water and soil for establishment in the new location.
