Epimedium grandiflorum
Epimedium Lilafee is a treasure for the shady and semi-shady corners of your garden, where other plants would fail to thrive. The original species grows in the mountain forests of East Asia, which predestines it for life under the canopies of trees and shrubs in the garden as well. This long-lived perennial will enchant you with its variable leaves, which play with bronze to red shades when emerging, turn green in summer, and color up again in autumn. The Lilafee cultivar stands out in April and May with a flood of tiny, purple flowers resembling little elven caps or insect wings. The flowers are tiny, but thanks to their abundance and bold color, they literally glow in the spring shade. The plant requires humous, well-drained, and consistently slightly moist soil. Although it looks fragile, it is fully frost-resistant and undemanding to grow, so even a complete beginner can manage it. The flowers are also suitable for cutting into small spring bouquets, where they look very tender. Just keep in mind that the entire plant is poisonous.
