In late February/early march it’s time to cut back the epimediums. They are great plants for difficult sites in dry shade and provide a mound of interesting leaf colours and shapes and in spring they have the sweetest, pretty little flowers that resemble orchids. In this video I discuss where to plant them and although they are very low maintenance a quick cut back now will keep them looking great. • Below is a list of some great varieties to try from Gardenersworld.com • Epimedium 'Amber Queen' – produces a mass of amber-yellow coloured flowers from April to June • Epimedium 'Pink Champagne' – a hybrid cultivar, with attractive bronze-red foliage and pink-red hanging flowers • Epimedium stellulatum 'Wudang Star' – this was collected from the wild in China by Roy Lancaster in 1983. It produces low-growing clumps of leathery, spiny foliage. In mid- to late spring, white, star-shaped flowers appear above the foliage • Epimedium x perralchicum – forming a large clump of glossy, heart-shaped deep green leaves, which are flushed bronze in spring and autumn, tiny pendent, bright yellow flowers appear on delicate wiry stems, from mid- to late-spring • Epimedium x rubrum – with bronze young leaves, which darken to red-brown in autumn. In late spring tiny, crimson and pale yellow flowers appear on wiry stems • Also, check out Rosy Hardy Gardening, link below for great advice on which perennials to plant where. • https://youtube.com/@RosyHardyGardeni... • This is the link to a video Rosy did on Epimediums in which she discusses three very nice ones; Epimedium x warleyense ‘Orangekonigin’, Epimedium x versicolour ‘Cupreum’ Epimedium x versicolour ‘ Sulphreum’. • • Preparing Epimediums for Spring
