Product Description
EPIMEDIUM ‘Pink Elf’ – Pink Elf Barrenwort/Bishop’s Hat
(P.P. 17228)
Pink Elf is derived as a hybrid of E. leptorrhizum and E. pubescens. The evergreen foliage adorns a 1′ tall by 2′ wide clump topped in early spring with flower stalks of tiny, airy light pink flowers. Epimediums are aristocratic groundcovers rarely growing more than a foot tall. They are the perfect solution for use under leggy shrubs or under trees with competing roots tolerating dry shade. Leaves are attached to wiry stems and can be evergreen, semi-evergreen or deciduous depending on the species. Evergreen/semi-evergreen are likely native to Mediterranean areas while the deciduous are likely native to China.
