The term “wallflower,” in the way that it applies to humans, can apply to other plants, as well. I would say that this Epimedium is the wallflower of our woodland garden. It has attractive, but not seriously noticeable foliage most of the year. Come March, however, it comes off the wall and into the limelight when its brilliant, graceful blooms surface seemingly overnight.
We added this plant about 25 years ago and it has been a quiet, carefree stalwart this entire time.
I have gotten one or two divisions off the original plant. In 2020 I will look to get another division or two to add to the memory garden.
