Water: Fragant agrimony thrives in environments with moderate moisture, needing consistent but not excessive hydration. Weekly watering mimics its native rainfall patterns. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, aligning rain patterns with its growth cycles promotes optimal development and resilience.

Fertilize: For fragant agrimony, use a balanced nutrition fertilizer biannually in spring and midsummer, applying a diluted solution carefully. Young plants need more nutrients; opt for slow-release formulations. Avoid foliage contact to prevent burn, and follow guidelines for healthy growth in your garden.

Pruning: Fragant agrimony has fragrant flowers and tall stems. Prune in early to late spring, removing dead stems first and thinning overcrowded branches for air circulation. Light shaping aids structure. Pruning promotes healthier growth, enhances blooms, and reduces pests. Use sharp tools to prevent infection.

Propagation: Fragant agrimony is a resilient plant that adapts to various soil types. Propagation involves sowing in well-draining soil with proper moisture management. For optimal growth, careful spacing is essential. Stratification enhances uniform germination by breaking seed dormancy.
