E. sp. nov.

Epimedium sp. nov. 'Simple Beauty'

E. sp. nov. ‘Simple Beauty’ (Cc. 022728)  

***2010 Cobblewood Introduction***


A new, as yet unnamed, species collected by Darrell in China that is one of his most favorite. It is a simple leaved seedling/clone of a species new to science that normally has 3 leaflets... and VERY rare as Darrell only found a few of them. The very large and simple corrugated evergreen leaves are just about the glossiest of all Epimediums and can reach over 6” long and 2.5” wide. The new spring growth has a slight flush of red with thin needle-like spines along the margins. Flower stems extend 4-5” above the foliage supporting large flowers with long, sulphur-yellow spurs and light green inner-sepals. Its thick, spreading rhizomes grow from 2- 8" a year. It has proven to be a great parent.  Photos courtesy of Mark McDonough.

Epimedium sp. nov. 'Spine Tingler'

Epimedium sp. nov. 'Spine Tingler'  (Cc. 001764)

***2008 Cobblewood Introduction***


A form of an as yet, unnamed Chinese species collected by Darrell Probst in Sichuan Province. The long, narrow (1”) spiny leaflets emerge with a light chocolate wash in early spring. Later long, overarching stems of large lemon-yellow spidery flowers float over a mass of exceptional evergreen foliage. To 10".

5Epimedium sp. nov. 'Tarantula'

Epimedium sp. nov. ‘Tarantula’    Cc. 012418

This clone has the narrowest leaves of any Epimedium in our entire collection. Delicate hair-like spines, run the edge of each leaf in a zig-zag pattern. Bears long, sprays of soft yellow flowers. Leaflets range in size from .25 to 5/8” across, and 3-4” in length, sporting an occasional simple leaf.
