I gather that it needs moist soil and sunny conditions. I wonder if it would work if I dug down and used some butyl liner to create a bit of a bog garden. Wiggly Wigglers sell plants - March at Wiggly Wigglers
I am tempted  Your thoughts would be appreciated...

I have had a Hemp Agrimony plant for five years now and it is placed in a "bog garden" complete with butyl liner, which is really a overflow from the pond, nevertheless, the Hemp loves its home and rewards us with the lovely frothy pink flowers every season.
Your idea will work and hopefully you will be as pleased as we are with ours, and the beautiful butterflies that come to feed when it's in bloom.
Good luck with your "project" Polly
