Epimedium lishihchenii (Several clones/Cc. numbers)
Collected by NACPEC in 1994 in Hubei Province, China, along with E. stellulatum. Produces large, bold evergreen leaflets that are heavy in substance. One of the few evergreen epimediums where the foliage makes it through many of our harsh winters. The large flowers have green inner-sepals and bright yellow spurs. Hardy to at least Zone 4. Grows to 12” tall. May exhibit various pastel shades in its spring foliage color. Fall color on some clones displays reddish markings on the leaves, as in accompanying photo.
