Agrimony is a perennial native to Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa that has naturalized to most of the US and Canada. It grows in open areas, fields and waste places and hedgerows. Bearing yellow flowers with egg shaped petals on spikes emanating from hairy stems, Agrimony exudes a distinctive, pleasant scent that is often compared to apricots but isn't as sweet.
In ancient folklore, Agrimony was used to keep away negative energies. It has been said that witches would use Agrimony as a form of protection against hexes as well as an ingredient in many different types of spells.
