Epimedium x perralchicum

Epimedium x perralchicum

(Several clones/Cc. numbers)

Long confused in the U.S. as its parent, E. perralderianum, (the other being E. pinnatum ssp. colchicum). The floral differences are minor, but the hybrid is more vigorous and hardier, to USDA Zone 4. Large, evergreen leaflets have slightly wavy margins. Like its parents, the leafless stems have small rich yellow flowers reminiscent of Verbascum. Spreads by 4-6” long rhizomes. Leaves form a thick mass 8-10” high. An excellent drought-tolerant groundcover that remains exceptionally evergreen through our harsh New England winters.
