CARMEL:
        I doubt that your Epimedium is dead. Epimediums generally hold onto their
leaves much later than other plants and, in my garden, the new leaves do
not emerge early. While dormant, you should shear down the old leaves; when
spring really arrives, the flowers will appear, followed by new leaves.
Epimediums make great ground covers, in my estimation.
