Description

Small. evergreen, understorey shrubs or deciduous perennials, which owe their name to the lightness of their flowers. These very beautiful shade plants can be cultivated in borders or in a large shady rockery, preferably along a path to fully enjoy their great beauty. They can all withstand temperatures as low as  -13°C (8.6°F) without any protection. The highly cold-resistant western species can tolerate difficult conditions, such as living in dense shade under trees, in very dry soil or in moist clay soil.  The Asian species prefer a soil that remains damp to moist in summer, well-drained, rich in humus, without limestone, and can also tolerate dense shade. They all grow relatively slowly, but can live for many years in one place without any special care.

A very pretty hybrid with slower growth than others, suitable for a small garden. Small deciduous, ovate, asymmetrical leaves, of a beautiful pale green that stands out brightly in the shade.  Leaves appear as if they are suspended in the air, due to the thin petioles that bear them. It is also the easiest dwarf species to cultivate.  Pink-violet flowers.

Planting and care

Plantez l'Epimedium × youngianum ‘Roseum’ de préférence au printemps ou au début de l’automne, dans une terre souple, riche en humus, bien ameublie, qui reste un peu fraîche sans être détrempée. Cette petite vivace se plaît à mi-ombre ou à l’ombre claire, notamment sous des arbustes caducs où elle profite de la lumière du printemps. Arrosez régulièrement durant les premiers mois, puis seulement en période sèche, car une fois installée elle supporte assez bien une petite sécheresse passagère. L’entretien est simple : en fin d’hiver, supprimez les feuilles abîmées ou défraîchies avant l’apparition des nouvelles pousses et des hampes florales, afin de mieux mettre en valeur la floraison.
Tous les deux ou trois ans, un apport de terreau de feuilles ou de compost bien décomposé suffit à maintenir une belle végétation.
