Epimedium Pink Elf flowers abundantly in spring and early summer, dancing elf-like on wiry stems over clumps of pretty, heart-shaped, evergreen foliage that becomes flushed with shades of orange-bronze in cold weather. New foliage emerges bronze.Also known as Bishops Hat - because of its flower shape - the delicate blooms of Epimedium nod gently in the slightest breeze. Originally found growing wild in the woodlands of China and Japan, Epimedium have been a popular garden plant there for many years, here in the UK we are just starting to appreciate their beauty.Sprays of pretty, pink, star-like flowers, each with four arching sepals, making them look rather like little hats. Epimedium make wonderful weed-suppressing all-year-round groundcover, spreading by rhizomes, they are just perfect for planting into borders and containers or a woodland setting. Epimedium Pink Elf prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in full or part shade. Growing to a height of around 45cm and spread of 60cm, Epimedium are fully hardy perennials, meaning you will enjoy them outside for many years to come without the worry of needing winter protection.
