Epimedium grandiflorum f. flavescens | Also known as: Fairy wings, Bishop's hat Epimedium koreanum | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
A native of Korea, Epimedium grandiflorum f. flavescens has attractive foliage, arrow-head shaped leaves, green, flushed with purple, red or copper, especially around the edges. The delicate flowers are a pale creamy yellow and hang underneath the mass of foliage. These ethereal flowers are the reason this species also goes by the name of Fairy wings. It's a good plant for ground cover in a shaded moist area of the garden. It will also prefer acidic soil and will grow well in the shade of trees as it has quite good drought tolerance.
