Re: Sedum & Epimedium

Walter, I've become very (overly?) fond of Epimediums because they are
lovely, deer proof and do well in my very difficult soil.  One of my
favorites is E. grandiflorum 'Pierre's Purple' that I got from Darrell
Probst several years ago.  The flower is huge and gorgeous, and the leave
color just before bloom is a luscious purple. I now buy all my epimediums
from him.  Great plants, great service.
