bishops hat

• Position: partial shade
• Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: slow-growing
• Flowering period: April to May
• Flower colour: dusky-pink to purple
• Other features: the leaves are valuable for winter flower displays
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Sprays of dusky-pink to purple flowers in mid- to late-spring on slender, red -tinted stems and mid-green, bronze-tinted young leaves. A lovely groundcover plant for shady areas of the garden. This epimedium would be perfect in a rock garden since it is smaller than many of the other species.
  
  
• Garden care: In early spring remove dead and damaged leaves before the flowers appear and apply a thick mulch of compost or well-rotted compost around the crown of the plant. Lift and divide large clumps in autumn.
