Beyond East - Epimedium Walk
Acquisition Year 2015
An E. acuminatum hybrid from Diana Reeck of Collector's Nursery, with long-spurred petals that are decidedly brighter rose-pink than the broad sepals. Flower stems are tinged with burgundy red. Long narrow foliage emerges a reddish pink. Given a bit of moderate sun in the north, the plant can reach 20" high. Its bright blooms and bold, semi-evergreen foliage both draw your eye from a distance. February 20, 2015: Obtained plant (shipped June 05, 2015 Garden Visions - qty 1)

Didn't Survive; FIB

This is an attractive pink flowered, medium sized, evergreen hybrid raised by Robin White of Blackthorn Nursery, which is sadly, no longer open. This is a result of crossing E. leptorrhizum with E. pubescens. The flowers are small tending towards E. pubescens whilst E leptorrhizum gives the pink colour.

A low growing Japanese variety, given the name "a thousand red-birds chirping' and that is what it truly looks like in bloom- clusters of showy reddish-purple flowers with sepals a lighter shade of the same color. The medium-sized leaflets form a mound of bright green foliage to 10". Spurs are tipped in white. A very floriferous clone.

Beyond East - Epimedium Walk

One of the smallest grandiflorums. Large flowers are produced just above the first set of leaves at only 4" tall. Dark lavender-rose flowers have white accents on the rim of the cup and the spur tips. Small spring leaflets are flushed purple. Second flush to 9". Its short stature makes it great for troughs or the front of the shade border. February 20, 2015: Obtained plant (shipped June 05, 2015 Garden Visions - qty 1)

Beyond East - Epimedium Walk

***2000 Cobblewood™ Introduction***
This beauty appeared as a seedling in Harold Epstein's garden as a cross between E. sempervirens 'Violet Queen' and E. grandiflorum 'Silver Queen'. Its red spring leaf coloration comes from the former and, numerous leaflets from the latter. It forms a low mass of medium-sized leaflets, their edges suffused with a deep red that fades into a soft green, netted center. Produces full panicles of large, lavender flowers with white spur tips. 8" in bloom. Striking red/orange fall color. Early bloomer with a distinct horizontal growth habit. Semi-evergreen.
