Epimedium grandiflorum 'Pretty in Pink' (Pretty in Pink Barrenwort) 1 gal
Epimedium fanciers rejoice! This hard-to-find ‘Pretty in Pink’ variety features a multitude of striking rose-pink flowers with long white spurs and deeper rose centers that float above the evergreen foliage for weeks in the early spring!
Each spring, small heart-shaped leaves emerge amidst the previous year’s overwintered foliage, unfurling as bronze-purple, becoming lime green for summer, and returning to a deeper purplish-bronze in the fall. Spreading rhizomatously but not aggressively, this variety’s flowers rise up to 18 inches tall and may ultimately spread out 2-3 ft. wide.
Epimediums are beloved for their evergreen foliage in the shade garden and their ability to tolerate dry shade, including under conifers. Closely related to our native Oregon-grapes and the similar-looking native perennial Vancouveria hexandra, you’ll find Epimediums are complemented by the many shade-loving native perennials we love, including Vancouveria, Trillium, the various Maianthemum species, Erythronium, Dodecathon, Dryopteris ferns. Along with evergreen Hellebores, these retain the structure of the shady perennial garden over winter when our ephemeral native perennials are dormant. The blooms are not only beautiful, but also provide habitat for many pollinators. The dense foliage provides habitat for many smaller organisms that support a healthy landscape.
Epimediums prefer some regular water to establish, but when mature, will be completely drought-tolerant and fuss free, including deer and rabbit resistant. If you want, cut back old Epimedium leaves in late winter or early spring before the new foliage emerges.
