Description

Epimedium grandiflorum, also known as "Fairy Flowers", is a perennial groundcover for shade with small pale lilac-pink flowers resembling mini-orchids. In April/May, each flowering stem produces up to ten flowers.

 

Epimedium also has the advantage of remaining decorative for several seasons. After flowering, a second, larger foliage develops. The leaves often have lovely coppery speckles, especially visible in spring.

It will quickly spread and the foliage is dense enough to make a superb and effective ground cover.
