Planted in the autumn. The flowers are here, delicate, and the young plant has developed well at the foot of a magnolia. Very pleased.

Description
The Epimedium 'Amber Queen' is perhaps one of the most floriferous new hybrids. From the end of April, long floral spikes of 45cm (18in) bear a multitude of coppery orange flowers, with strongly elongated petals. It blooms continuously until early summer.
Also known as fairy flowers, this Asian hybrid forms a compact stump from which emerge magnificent evergreen leaves, sagittate (arrow-shaped) and irregularly spotted with bronze markings that turn green as they age. It can be grown either in a bed with ferns (Dryopteris erythrosora), heuchera 'Caramel' or euphorbia griffithi, or in a large shady rockery, along a path to fully enjoy its beauty.
Originating from Asia and Europe to North Africa, epimediums are excellent ground covers for shade. More tolerant but less showy in flowers, western species can tolerate growing conditions such as dry shade and heavy or chalky soils.
Asian species, more aesthetically pleasing, prefer moist soils, especially in summer, and rich in humus. They thrive in shaded areas. Flowering occurs in March for the earliest ones and continues until June for the latest ones. The foliage is evergreen in over 90% of the species and regenerates in spring, giving way to young decorative foliage often spotted or marbled with brown, copper, or red depending on the varieties.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
