Epimedium 'Mandarin Star'
This medium-sized Chinese variety is coveted for its floriferous nature and extra-large open flower panicles that arrive en masse through April and May. Similar to Wudang Star, this variety can tolerate drier positions in the garden. Its glossy elongated and spiny evergreen leaves enticingly splay beneath extra-long flower stems. These are tall enough to ensure the perfectly positioned flowers can be enjoyed uninterrupted. In autumn, the mottled foliage darkens from green to burgundy.
