Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Epimedium 'Amber Queen' offers evergreen foliage that is bright green with a blush of red across the lance-shaped, spiny-margined leaves. Whimsical, yellow jester hat-like flowers with orange-red centres emerge in spring along the full length of the 24 inch long flower stems. Barrenwort thrive in medium to heavy shade and, when established, are highly drought tolerant - one of the few plants that can thrive in dry shade. They are deer resistant and are seldom bothered by voles and other critters. They can be used as effective ground covers or shade garden accents.

Always a hit. E. 'Amber Queen' is a 12” golden yellow woodlander. The plant is a real standout in the epimedium world.

Zn 5. Yellow flowers. Toothed, green leaves.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

What a pretty Queen! Long lasting floral display beginning in midspring, with myriads of soft yellow/orange spidery flowers tipped with deeper orange red on wiry 18-24" stems. New foliage has a reddish blush as it emerges, aging to a handsome khaki green.

Large yellow flowers concentrate to orange toward the edge of the sepals, and bloom over an extended season, March through at least May, and often even through much of the summer. Green, toothed and elongated heart-shaped leaves last most of the year and both new growth and sometimes older growth can be wonderfully splashed with red. Truly one of my favorites. Semi-deciduous and clumping. 10" T x 18" W Minimum temperature: -20 °F

Bred by Blackthorn Nursery owner Robin White, this brand new Epimedium flavum and Epimedium wushanense cross is adorned with droves of large warm-hued blooms. Arranged in an open fashion on long, nearly invisible black stems, the whimsical deep yellow flowers feature light blonde hooked spurs, red-tinged sepal backs and speckled petals, all melding together for an overall amber shade. Toothed and elongated, tidy heart-shaped foliage heralds spring with a bold russet mottling.
