Hi, don't grow these down here, but have seen this subject matter quite a
bit. Posted a while back about a study at the Chicago Botanical gardens...here
is a follow up:
Chicago Botanic Garden rates epimedium varieties. Chicago Botanic Garden
completed a 5-year trial of 40 Epimedium varieties, each grown in shade.
E. 'Crimson,' E. grandiflorum 'Sonoyzki' and E. x versicolor 'Neosulphureum'
ranked highest for winter hardiness, health, habit and flower coverage.
Other strong performers were E. 'Black Sea,' E. alpinum, E. grandiflorum
'Orion,' E. grandiflorum 'Saturn,' E. x rubrum and E. setosum.
