Description

Epimedium 'Flowers of Sulphur' is a variety of elf flowers. It bears large cream-yellow flowers that bloom above the evergreen foliage.

 

A hybrid variety between Epimedium flavum and E. ogisui, 'Flowers of Sulphur' possesses the qualities of Asian hybrids. Namely, it forms abundant, dark green, evergreen foliage. The foliage displays purple spots in spring. Its flowers bloom from April to May, well above the foliage at 30 to 35cm (12 to 14in) in height. They have wide cream-white sepals and long arching butter-yellow petals.

 

Easy to cultivate, Epimedium 'Flowers of Sulphur' thrives in shady, moist soil at the base of trees and in partially sunny borders. Plant it alongside evergreen carex, ferns, and golden lysimachias.
