From the yellow spur tips, the color changes from white to a rich, berry-pink. Elongated, evergreen, medium-sized, arrow-shaped leaflets contrast purple mottling against the green. A vigorous grower that sometimes reblooms. 12" tall, with flower to 16". |

This 2012 Plant Delights Nursery introduction by Tony Avent is a vigorous E. grandiflorum hybrid with exceptional summer foliage. Small clusters of graceful flowers with pink spurs and a raspberry cup are held just above the leaves during the mid-late epimedium bloom season. The new spring growth is patterned with subdued maroon flecks, eventually hardening off as handsome, glossy, medium-sized green leaflets. Blush pink second growth foliage. Tony describes the leaflets as "tardily deciduous" - or what I can "semi-evergreen". To 12". | April 2, 2018: Obtained plant (Garden Vision Epimediums - qty 1) |

Epimedium grandiflorum 'Waterfall' |
Have Acquisition Year 2022 Acquisition Year 2018 |
***2003 Cobblewood Introduction*** A large, lively, textural garden plant - full of movement. This was a spontaneous seedling between E. grandiflorum f. flavescens 'La Rocaille' and E. grandiflorum 'Yubae' from the garden of Harold Epstein. The medium-large, acutely tapered leaves stack in overlapping layers giving the appearance of flowing water. In spring, purple stippling is strongest at leaf edge, with an irregular mosaic of purple and green in the center, shading to green at the petiole. Large flowers gush forth on stems angled upward along the fringes of the foliage. Deep wine-purple sepals angle back from white spurs that flush amethyst near the narrow cup. 16" in bloom. No second growth flush. |

| Epimedium koreanum 'Harold Epstein' |
Have Acquisition Year 2022 Acquisition Year 2018 |
A cold hardy clone with HUGE, butter-yellow flowers. Named by plantsman Jerry Flintoff, its enormous, heart-shaped leaflets can reach to over 6" long and 4 1/2" wide. Spreads 6-12" a year. Takes 2-3 years to establish. Flowers emerge before the leaflets unfurl in spring. E. koreanum puts up only one set of leaves per node each season. If the leaf bud is damaged, the rhizome will lay dormant until the following spring. Makes a great bold-textured, vigorous groundcover for large areas. Expanding new leaves hide the dying bulb foliage. 15" tall. | April 2, 2018: Obtained plant (Garden Vision Epimediums - qty 1) May 11, 2022: Obtained plant (Garden Vision Epimediums - qty 1) |

| Epimedium macrosepalum |
Have Acquisition Year 2018 |
An evergreen and drought tolerant species from the S.E. coastal region of Russia. The flowers have enormous mauve inner sepals that, unlike most that follow the curve of the spurs, these petal-like structures reflex backwards like huge rounded wings, arching above the down-curving spurs. Both cup and the spurs fade to white at the tips. Flowers are borne beneath the foliage. Ground hugging, medium-sized, rounded, smooth, heart-shaped leaflets 4-6" high, turn maroon in fall/winter. Vigorously spreads by thin 4-12" rhizomes. | April 2, 2018: Obtained plant (Garden Vision Epimediums - qty 1) | |
