Epimedium Flowers of Sulphur - Barrenwort

<strong><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/epimedium-barrenwort.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Epimediums</a> are beautiful perennials suited to shade, forming a ground cover and offering delicate flowering in spring.</strong> They bear very small, fairy-like flowers that can literally enchant a corner of your garden! Their shape resembles that of columbines, and they are held above the foliage by long, flexible stems. This gives the plant its lovely name, Flower of the Elves. They brighten the darkest areas of the garden in spring. <strong>From the lilac-pink flowers of <em>Epimedium grandiflorum</em> to the orange flowers of <em>Epimedium warleyense</em>, not to mention the small white and yellow flowers of <em>Epimedium sagittatum</em>... barrenworts offer a beautiful diversity!</strong> The dense foliage of epimediums makes them excellent ground covers. The leaves often take on stunning hues in spring and autumn, sometimes with coppery, brown, or purple shades. This is the case with <em>Epimedium versicolor</em>, whose young leaves are beautifully marbled with copper-red. Depending on the varieties, the foliage can be deciduous or evergreen. <strong>Epimediums prefer to be planted in shade or partial shade</strong>, for example in woodland areas, in rather cool soil. They are perfect for dressing the base of trees. These plants spread slowly thanks to their rootstocks. They thrive in the garden for years, requiring almost no maintenance. They are very resistant to diseases and pests!
