E. davidii “Robust Form” (Several clones)
Like many species, E. davidii varies from one location to another. In 1999 Darrell helped to identify Epimediums purchased from China by a local nursery. Overall they were more robust and vigorous than any of the clones that he had collected in China, with flower stems from 18-24” high bearing the typical bright yellow blooms. They also had bolder evergreen foliage than any we have grown. The clones we offer have attractively red-mottled spring leaflets. Spreads slowly by occasional 4-8” rhizomes to form a mass 2’ wide in about 5 years under good growing conditions.
