Agrimony / Agrimonia eupatoria
Agrimony has distinctive tall slender stems with yellow flowers running up the length, creating a spire like structure. It thrives in sunny areas and especially on calcareous soils, and adds some height to the flower canopy. The flowers are a valuable nectar source in the summer, while the seeds are a useful food supply for birds in the autumn.
