Epimedium pubigerum
Height x Spread: 30cm x 45cm
The small clusters of cream flowers of this Barrenwort are held well above the emerging bright green spring foliage.
The individual leaves, which are quite round in shape, are semi-evergreen making this a useful ground-cover plant for shady areas. The old foliage should be removed in early spring to reveal the flowers and new leaves as they appear to appreciate the full beauty of this plant.
