Water
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Prune back established plants in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous new growth and maintain a tidy shape. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems.
Deadheading spent flowers throughout the season can prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Agrimonia bracteata can be propagated by division of clumps in early spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown in autumn outdoors or in a cold frame.
Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in late spring or semi-hardwood in mid-summer.
Young plants may benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space.
Mature plants generally prefer to be slightly pot-bound and require repotting less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.
