When blossoms appear in spring on this highly floriferous shade dweller, the mass of white blooms with pink centers and dainty spurs suggests a flock of miniature migratory birds in flight. Mature plants can produce up to 100 flower stems. These coveted, vigorous plants were bred by leading Epimedium hybridizer Darrel Probst.
Interest in this genus has increased over the past 2 decades as horticulturists brought back new species and varieties from explorations in China. Epimediums make good ground covers and are one of the choice plants for shade. They prefer good loamy soil, organic enough to let the rhizomes spread readily, but will tolerate dry shade once established. A second, taller flush of leaves often follows those that emerge in spring.
