Epimedium 'Serendipity' (Cc. 060300)
***2017 Cobblewood Introduction***
A chance open-pollinated seedling of E. pauciflorum brought to my attention by to Elaine Chittenden of Smith College Botanic Garden, this selection is an excellent white-flowered, spreading Epimedium-- a rare find. Low and vigorous with loads of cheerful, white flowers (touched with light lavender, but they “read” as white) are scattered 8 to 10” above small, chocolate-edged and irregularly speckled leaflets-- quite unlike any E. pauciflorum I know. Similar to E. grandiflorum var. higoense in size and shape, but it spreads with 1-4” long rhizomes. Initially forms a 4-6” high, dense groundcover, perfect for small gardens or small spaces. Sparse second growth flush to 12". Semi-evergreen. Now how is that for a happy chance!
