Epimedium × Rubrum | 9cm Pot

A ground-cover perennial with red-tinted foliage with white-spurred, crimson flo. Position: partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained Rate of growth: slow Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy Pretty and versatile with distinctive, heart-shaped leaves and a spreading habit, epimediums bring lightness and airiness to a shady border. The young leaves of this deciduous variety are bronze-tinted and turn reddish-brown in autumn. In late spring a froth of tiny, crimson and pale yellow flowers appear, suspended on wiry stems. Slow to spread, it makes a good groundcover plant for shady areas or under deciduous trees. Garden care: In early spring remove dead and damaged leaves before the flowers appear and apply a thick mulch of compost or well-rotted manure around the crown of the plant. Lift and divide large clumps in autumn.
