Yellow Epimedium

I know this plant as epimedium sulfureum, but since there is no listing for that, will add a comment here.
Epimedium is one of th...Read Moree best ground covers for dry shade in my zone 4b. It has excelled in places where tree roots are so thick that a spade can't penetrate and I have to use a mattock.
The foliage is absolutely charming and persists throughout the season. In my experience, the yellow variety's flowers are larger and a bit more showy than the red, pink or white varieties. But the flowers aren't really the main attraction with epimedium.
One winter, I did lose a sizable stand due to an inch-thick ice sheet that lasted for months. But most of my plants have endured and increased for more than a decade. Love it!!
