Epimedium 'Pretty in Pink' emerges as a stunning evergreen cultivar, revealing bronzed foliage in spring that transitions to vibrant green in summer and returns to a rich bronze-purple hue come autumn. Its mid-late spring display features graceful sprays of rose-pink flowers, adorned with long white spurs and striking deep pink centres, adding a touch of elegance to any shaded or woodland border. A resilient choice for dry shade once established, this rhizomatous perennial not only offers exquisite blooms but also serves as a beautiful ground cover, providing year-round interest with its charming heart-shaped foliage.
In early spring remove dead and damaged leaves before the flowers appear and apply a thick mulch of compost or well rotted manure around the crown of the plant. Lift and divide large clumps in autumn.
