This process, which involves putting the soaked seeds in a bag of damp spaghnum moss or sand and then keeping in the fridge, is designed to simulate winter. The temperature fluctuation can help induce germination. You can also sow seeds outdoors in the fall to simulate this process. Agrimony can grow in full sun to partial shade.
