Product Description

EPIMEDIUM x ‘Amber Queen’ – Amber Queen Barrenwort/Bishop’s Hat

Amber flowers are followed by tidy heart shaped semi-evergreen foliage with a russet mottling. 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 native to China.
