Summary
Small-flowered agrimony is valued for its historical medicinal uses by Native Americans, who utilized it for various ailments. Today, it is appreciated in naturalistic plantings and wildflower gardens for its wildlife benefits, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is relatively low-maintenance, preferring full sun to partial shade and tolerating a range of soil types, though it thrives in well-drained loamy soils. While not commonly used in formal garden settings, it can be an interesting addition to herb gardens or used for natural erosion control on slopes. It is not known to have significant disease or pest issues, but it can spread somewhat aggressively in favorable conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
