    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.

    (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.

Dorset Perennials – plants direct from the heart of Dorset.

At Dorset Perennials you will find a husband and wife team, Dawn and Martin, who have been plantsmen and nurserymen for nearly 25 years. Our nursery, situated in the North of Dorset close to the Somerset border, is full of the plants we love. There’s no overall theme, just an eclectic mix of perennials that, for one reason or another, we consider well worth growing. We have plants for shade, plants for sun, plants for wildlife and a few more just because. In short all the perennials you would ever need to make a garden full of colour throughout the year and full of the plants you need to make it hum with wildlife. We’ve tried to make this website full of inspirational colour and easy to use. The shop page has a nifty plant selector sidebar which can be used to filter our plants by size, colour season and so forth to help you quickly pin down the right plant for a particular spot. We’ve added picture pages showing plant associations to inspire you, or if you need a little advice just give us a call.
