Epimedium x ‘Amber Queen’

Description

Epimedium x ‘Amber Queen’ is a vigorous evergreen perennial with larger than usual two-toned amber flowers that dance on thin stems in spring while small heart-shaped leaves emerge with a rosy blush that matures to green and then responds to the cool of autumn with a blush of orange. Surprisingly long-blooming and tough for such a dainty looking plant that is perfect for the woodland garden.

Epimediums make superb all-year-round ground cover under trees or shrubs, but particularly enjoy the dappled shade and leafy soil of woodland gardens where they associate well with spring bulbs, hellebores, and choice woodland plants. The undemanding plants smother weeds all year round.
