Epimedium davidii | Also known as: Bishop's hat, Fairy wings | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
A native of Asia, Epimedium davidii is a pretty and delicate evergreen flowering plant with bright yellow flowers that have curved spurs that hang on slender stems, giving them a delicate, attractive look. Despite its rather fragile looks, it's actually a pretty hardy plant that you should find fairly easy to grow. It grows well in shade or partial shade. The leaves are a bronze colour which complements the yellow flowers nicely. The leaves have a serrated edge. This plant likes light, moist, acidic soil with good drainage. This species was first collected in 1869 by Pere David.
