Re: epis

Best time apparently is June. That's when Daryl Probst sends out the orders.
I just received my new Garden Vision catalog today He offers over 180 varieties of Epimedium plus some Iris, Primula, and 2 Sanguinaria including a pink one. Also one type each of Vancouveria, Trillium, Jeffesonia, and Lathyrus .

Chris, Kitty, anybody:
For those that grow them, are they best planted in spring or fall,
or does it matter ?

Chris mentioned Epimediums before.  I have several in bloom now.
I grow:
pinnatum  ssp colchicum
alpinum 'Rubrum'

diphyllum 'Roseum'

Cool!

How well do you like your Epimediums?

I was on an Epimedium kick a while back and got all kinds, but I probably
lost half of them. It really bummed me out and I cut back afterwards. Still, they're nice to see in the spring. :)

Here's what I'm growing now:

Epimedium grandiflorum 'Crimson Beauty'
Epimedium grandiflorum var. higoense
Epimedium x warleyense 'Orangekonigin'
Epimedium pinnatum ssp. colchicum
Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum'
Epimedium x rubrum

Sounds like we have some crossover! Chris
