Epimedium warleyense - 2026

Epimedium × warleyense is a hardy, evergreen perennial valued for its sprays of pale yellow flowers with maroon-red markings that appear in spring above heart-shaped, bronze-tinged young foliage. The leaves mature to glossy green and develop red and bronze tones in autumn, providing year-round interest. Its dense, spreading habit makes it ideal as groundcover or for shaded borders and woodland-style 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 × warleyense is low-maintenance and long-lived. Removing old leaves in late winter enhances the display of fresh spring foliage and flowers. Hardy and adaptable, it tolerates a range of soil conditions and dry shade once established, making it a reliable choice for shaded gardens and naturalistic plantings.
