\"Epimedium

Epimedium<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

There is no secret as to why ground covers are so important: they reduce landscape maintenance, serve as erosion control, provide options for hard-to-grow areas, and of course add biodiversity to gardens; but finding the right possibilities for a specific area can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

If I could recommend an easy, almost pest- and disease-free ground cover for a shady environment with dry, well drained soil it would be this hardy perennial that never seems to let us down.<\/p>\n

Epimedium is typically a clump forming perennial, however, when massed it can create quite the border or groundcover. Spreading by rhizomes, this Epimedium x versicolor \u2018Sulphureum\u2019 roots can grow over and under existing roots, and through the rockiest soils eventually covering a foot and a half by two foot area. The delicate, airy, stems unfold to a striking, light green veined, cordate leaf with light red margins. The pale yellow flowers emerge mid-spring (late April-early May). Growing quite quick it is best to divide this perennial late summer\/early fall.<\/p>\n

The Genus Epimedium is known to have over 50 species mostly native to Asia, grows in a variety of colors, is known to have medical properties, and most importantly is resistant to deer and rabbits, making this a great option to add to your clients\u2019 landscapes.<\/p>\n
