Epimedium youngianum 'Niveum' - 2026

Epimedium youngianum 'Niveum' is a compact, evergreen perennial prized for its pure white flowers that appear in spring above fresh green, heart-shaped foliage. The leaves emerge with reddish tints in spring, mature to glossy green, and develop bronze or red tones in autumn, providing year-round decorative interest. Its dense, spreading habit makes it an excellent groundcover for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or naturalistic plantings, while the delicate flowers attract pollinators and add seasonal charm.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, Epimedium youngianum 'Niveum' is low-maintenance and long-lived. Removing old foliage in late winter reveals fresh spring growth and enhances flower display. Hardy and adaptable, it tolerates dry shade once established and is resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable choice for shaded garden areas.
