Agrimonia procera can be propagated from seed, cuttings, or division. Seeds should be sown in the spring in a cold frame. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 7 - 10cm with a heel, July/August in a frame. Division in March or October. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found it best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are well established before planting them out in late spring or early summer.
