Description

The Epimedium ground cover for shade with small lilac flowers reminiscent of orchids. In April/May, each floriferous stem produces up to sixteen flowers.

The Epimedium also has the secondary advantage of remaining decorative for several seasons. After flowering, a second, larger leaf growth develops. The leaves often have beautiful coppery speckles, especially visible in spring.

Floriferous and rapidly spreading, it forms a dense enough habit to make a superb and effective ground cover.
