Epimedium 'Domino' is a large plant growing to 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide with long, spiny leaves producing hundreds of airy, long-spurred, white flowers with pink centres on arching, burgundy stems in April and May. The leaves are mottled with gold or burgundy when young. Epimedium are among the easiest perennials to grow. They can be used as effective accents or groundcovers in medium to heavy shade and once established are highly drought tolerant. They are seldom bothered by deer, rodents or other monsters.

This 2004 introduction from Garden Vision Nursery is one of our favorites. Myriads of dainty bishop's cap flowers in lovey bicolor shades of warm rosy pink and white dance on dark wiry stems in late April and early May. A taller Epimedium with flower spires to 2' tall. Deer resistant, drought tolerant and long lived!

An impressive hybrid done by Darrell Probst. Bears countless large white flowers with wine-pink "cups" on maroon stems above mottled leaves. To me it looks much like a white version of 'Pink Champagne' and I have a strong feeling they are related and possibly from the same breeding program. "Just" clumping but growing into 2-3' clumps! Evergreen.
