  • Potsize - 1L

    This is a really showy variety that produces an absolute swarm of flowers in a lovely soft apricot colour. It is vigorous with tall upright flowering stems that produce large, well spaced flowers with petals that shade from lemon yellow at the tip, through orange to a deep but narrow red mouth. Each flower has petals that sweep back like each flower is skydiving. New leaves are heavily splashed with red as a further bonus. E.flavum x E.wushanense

    Possibly E.dolichostemon x E.leptorrhizum. A lovely introduction from Elizabeth Strangman with flowers in a gentle soft pink, very much like its parent E.leptorrhizum. However, each flower is neater and smaller and held in an elegant arching spray. The leaves can colour a rich ruby red in winter.

    Jean O'Neill has flowers in one of those colours that is quite unique. The flowers are generous in proportions and production, with each being topped by off white sepals, under which curve petals which shade from dunked rich tea biscuit brown to flesh coloured at their curved tips. Young leaves are suffused with a rich tan and they colour a lovely pinky-red in Autumn, still with the darker red speckles. Raised at Spinners by Peter Chapell from Epimedium davidii seed. Possibly a cross with Epimedium acuminatum

    Flowers appear richly coloured in heavy sprays. The sepals are small and lilac, under which curve much larger petal 'claws', deep purple in the centre fading to near white at the curved tips. New leaves are a fresh apple green, staining orangey red towards the margins and then splashed in rich burgundy. Altogether a most attractive cultivar. Raised by Wendy Perry of Bosvigo Garden, Truro from seed of Epimedium acuminatum, with a form of Epimedium grandiflorum as the other parent.

    Cc 001764. A hybrid with elongated leaflets whose edges are corrugated and tipped with irregular spines pointing in all directions like Jaws himself. As if that wasn't fascinating enough in itself, the young leaves are an iridescent metallic bronze pink, maturing apple green and evergreen. The flowers are large, 4cm in diameter, with small sepals and curving narrow petals, pale lemon becoming richer coloured at the centre. Known in the US as Sphinx Twinkler. A collection by Darrell Probst not yet attributed to a species, possibly as yet undescribed.

    Epimedium x perralchicum 'Wisley'. (Epimedium perraldianium x Epimedium pinnatum subsp. colchicum). A selection from the original hybrid, having large flowers and particularly bright foliage.

The leaves open an attractive pale green; contrasting well with the last years foliage and having lovely red netting. The flowers are like upright spikes of glowing sunshine yellow daffodils. to see them at their best may need you to trim away last years foliage in early spring. 'Wisley' colours a little less in the leaf than its similar cousin 'Frohnleiten'. 45cm. Easily grown in any good soil. ( E.perraldianum x E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum ).

    (E. grandiflorum x E. pinnatum subsp colchicum). Here's something a bit different. Instead of the usual yellow tones of versicolor, this variety has strayed deep into the pink. The sepals are quite broad, rich rosy pink, fading paler as they age. The petals, which are much smaller, nestle below with a spur of rich ruby changing to yellow at the mouth. It is a good grower with leaves of russetty brown over winter and as they emerge. Compared to the other versicolor types, the flowers give the general impression of being a bit rounder and neater.

    Epimedium x warleyense ( Ellen Willmott ). E. alpinum x E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum. The upright stems of delicate coppery orange flowers set this hybrid apart from most epimediums. They are held well up above the foliage in a warm orange haze. The leaves are apple green in a mildly spreading clump that is a little less dense than most species. Height 20-40cm in flower. Originally sent from Warley Place, the Garden of Ellen Willmot, to Professor Stearn as E.perraldianum when he was writing his monograph. Subsequently identified and named by Professor Stearn. for any good soil in partial shade. spring.
