Planting and care

Vancouveria hexandra is from the same family as the Epimedium. It closely resembles it and is grown in the same way, in moist soil, very rich in humus and preferably in a shaded position. We have planted it in our small shaded rockery, near the waterfall where it looks wonderful among the rocks.
