A new, Australian bred hybrid to knock your socks off! The salmon pink flowers open freely on the wiry red stems. They flutter beautifully in the breeze well above the foliage (up to 45cm). Along with the main flush of blooms in spring you are likely to see spot flowering throughout summer and autumn as if you needed another reason!
Epimedium Asiatic hybrids new leaves emerge chocolate green before aging to deep green. It takes on similar hues in autumn. They are evergreen.

Epimediums are clump forming rhizomatous perennials native to woodland areas. They grow best in moist, humus rich, sandy soils. Plant in a part shade to bright light position.
Epimediums are good for planting beneath trees, in shaded borders, as shady ground covers or in well cared for pots.

Fertilise and mulch Epimediums in winter, they love the soil to be rich in composting leaves so don't hold back with dumping them on when they fall in autumn. Divide your Epimedium clumps every 3-5 years and don't forget to protect new foliage from slugs and snails.

Cut back your Epimedium foliage late winter or spring, to allow the new leaves and flowers to shine. Just as you would a Hellebore/Winter Rose. Epimediums are also known as Bishop's Hats and Horny Goat Weed.
