Epimediums in Dry Shade

Epimediums are one of my easy-care favorites for spring. I have my collection right beside the paver perimeter of the pebble patio, so their complex blooms can be noticed.


These tough little plants have heart-shaped leaves and dainty blooms on wiry stems.
I was not home to remove old growth earlier in the spring, but all three seem undisturbed by the neglect.

White Epimedium


White is the smallest and a slow-grower. Both yellow and orange spread more quickly with bigger, brighter leaves.

Yellow Epimedium

I call these Fairy Flowers because they have perfect size and form for fairy gardens.
