Epimedium are superb shade-garden plants, excellent for edging or groundcover, and deserving much wider use in our gardens.  Taking a couple of years to reach a mature size, plants are long-lived and very sturdy. Drought tolerant once established. Very early flowering. One of our favourites, needs time to establish.

Great understory plant for large shrubs such as Amalanchier (Serviceberry) or PG Hydrangeas. Clean up dead foliage very early in spring, before new foliage and flowers appear.

All photos taken at our nursery. Inclusion here does not always mean we have in stock.
