Barrenwort

Epimediums have been popular in Japan for many years but are now beginning to increase in popularity with UK gardeners. They are generally hardy and enjoy a spot in dappled shade with moist, well-drained soil and regular mulching with garden compost or leaf mould. For the best foliage, cut back old leaves in spring before new foliage appears. E. x perralchicum is a robust variety that makes a large clump of glossy, deep green leaves, which are bronze when young. Pendent, bright yellow flowers appear in mid- to late spring.

Looks good with:

Leucojum vernum
Bergenia 'Baby Doll'
