Epimedium (Barrenwort)
×
Color Name: Pretty in Pink
This beautiful E. grandiflorum hybrid is the perfect choice for your spring shade garden. Flowers have white spurs, rose pink backs, and deeper rose centers. Small heart-shaped, bright green foliage takes on dramatic bronzing that's reminiscent to the color of autumn maple leaves.
Epimediums are one of the few plants capable of surviving in dry shade. Although slow to establish, mature plants will stand out in the landscape, particularly when in flower. These plants are appreciated for their durability and critter resistance, but loved for the long sprays of jester hat-like flowers in spring.
Growing Tips: Epimedium is a tough plant that will survive in nearly any shady location. Though it prefers rich, moist, woodland soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH, it will adapt to a wide range of conditions. It will even grow under large, thirsty trees. This plant is a slow grower, so mulching around the plants will help to keep the weeds away. Trimming off all of the old foliage in late winter will make room for a fresh flush of leaves and may increase flower production. Epimedium can be divided in early fall and is rarely troubled by pests or diseases.
