Epimediums

I am currently growing twenty different Epimediums with a few new ones waiting to be planted. Some are small clumps and a few are dramatic swaths. One can never grow too many Epimediums. They may take a while to get established, but then they are workhorses whose delicate appearance belies their hardiness

My red Epimediums (E. rubrum, directly below) and those in varying shades of yellow all seem to bloom first in my garden. It may be because they are the oldest and most established plants. 

Epimedium versicolor 'Sulphureum'

Epimedium pubigerum

Epimedium grandiflorum 'Dark Beauty'

Epimedium grandiflorum 'Waterfall'

Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilac Fairy'

I love E. pubigerum; yours looks very much at home! Its flowers aren't as showy as many, but it looks as if it were naturally growing there.

So beautiful! I've noted that some other plants tend to bloom in color sequences too, like Freesia and Lisianthus. Who knows? Maybe there's some reason for that that only the plants themselves understand.

What a lot of Epimediums! I love them too. I have trouble getting them established. My most successful one is the Sulphureum. I really like those reds.
