Epimedium pinnatum is a creeping evergreen plant that grows in a clump and produces sprays of bright yellow cup-shaped flowers. The flower stalks don't have any leaves on. They reach up tall above the foliage. The leaves are made up of about five leaflets, there are a few spines around the edges. They're heart shaped with a pointed tip. The stems are thin but sturdy, brown in colour. This species is native to Western Asia where it can be found growing in the woods in mountain regions. It likes full shade or partial shade and moist soil that's humus rich. It's a hardy plant and shouldn't need much looking after, just cut the leaves back in the spring.
