EPIMEDIUMcontinued


EPIMEDIUM brevicornu Og 88.010    
Mikinori Ogisu is probably the most important man in the Epimedium world! He has made numerous introductions from wild seed collected in China in recent years - his collection numbers feature heavily through our list. This is an extremely graceful plant with small white and gold flowers cup shaped flowers held in clouds above the leaves. Contrasting most effectively are the small heart shaped leaves which are beautifully blotched with deep purple as they emerge in spring.
£10.60


EPIMEDIUM brevicornu f. rotundatum Og 82.010
This is the name under which we acquired this dear little plant, which is upheld in Plantfinder. However, I am slightly bothered that it appears not to be listed in the recent definitive work on Epimedium by William T. Stearn. However, we will maintain them separately for the time being. This variation appears to be basically as the species, but with smaller more rounded leaves and proportionally less vigorous.

EPIMEDIUM campanulatum Og 93.087
A most unusual small semi-evergreen species from East China. The relatively small flowers are spurless and a delightful pale yellow.
£8.50

EPIMEDIUM davidii EMR 4125    
Martyn Rix introduced this spectacular plant from central Sichuan in 1985. I never know whether to start with the leaves or the flowers when both are so gorgeous. The large, spurred flowers are an incredibly vivid yellow with small intense red sepals. This red colour is picked up in the foliage which is almost completely red in spring, as are the leaf and flower stems. A truly wonderful effect.
£10.60


EPIMEDIUM dolichostemon Og 81.010
Named by the late Prof. Stearn who was on of the leading authorities on Epimedium in 1990, the reflexed sepals are pure white, whilst the petals below are burgundy red, with prominent, very long golden stamens. These lovely flowers are held above attractive spiny, arrowhead shaped foliage which unfurls with red-bronze patterns before maturing to apple-green.
£10.60

EPIMEDIUM ecalcaratum Og 93.082   
The large lemon-yellow flowers which are freely produced are distinctive in their lack of spurs - instead they are bell like. The low growing foliage is a deep blackish brown as it unfurls and is strongly spined and quite dense.
£10.60


EPIMEDIUM 'Enchantress'
(E. dolichotsemum x E. leptorrhizum) A lovely hybrid from Elizabeth Strangman with pink and lavender coloured flowers. The long pointed leaves are beautifully splashed with red when young. Easy and rewarding.
£8.50

EPIMEDIUM epsteinii CPC 940347
A handsome species with large pale lilac and purple flowers. The young leaves are an unusual pale green.
£8.50

EPIMEDIUM fargesii 'Pink Constellation'    
This is about as different from the previous one as it gets! The large flowers are a pale lilac pink with the sepals reflexing dramatically and uniquely to form an open tube. The whole plant is taller and more open, whilst the leaves have large arrow-head like spiny leaflets. Very dramatic.
£8.50


EPIMEDIUM flavum Og 92.036 
The leaves of this useful evergreen species are burnished bronze throughout the winter. The large flowers are pale yellow.
£8.50

EPIMEDIUM franchetii 'Brimstone Butterfly'    
As with so many, the leaves themselves are worthy of a place in the garden. They are tough and leathery, but very a very pale green delicately edged in pink when they emerge in spring. However, it is almost evergreen, maintaining a carpet all winter. The flowers are basically a two-tone yellow, with the paler primrose sepals and bright lemon yellow spurs.
£8.50
