Description
Epimedium grandiflorum
Height x Spread: 40cm x 45cm
Beautiful large white flowers appear on this plant in mid spring as the new foliage starts to emerge. The young foliage has a bronze tint which contrasts well with the flowers.
The leaves then increase in size and become mid-green in colour, creating good ground cover under trees and shrubs. These plant are deciduous and the leaves take on wonderful autumnal hues before they fall. They will tolerate dry shade. All in all this Epimedium offers great value with both its stunning flowers and colourful foliage.
