Epimedium (Barrenwort)
Epimedium, commonly known as Barrenwort or Bishop’s Hat, is a delightful perennial that thrives in shaded areas where many other plants struggle. Known for its delicate, nodding flowers and striking, heart-shaped foliage, it’s a favourite among gardeners seeking an elegant yet hardy addition to their garden. We deliver Epimedium bare root plants across England in spring.

This adaptable plant offers year-round interest. In spring, sprays of intricate, star-like blooms in shades of pink, yellow, white, or orange rise gracefully above the foliage. The leaves often emerge with bronze or reddish tints before maturing to rich green, and many varieties retain their foliage throughout winter, making Epimedium an excellent groundcover.
Epimedium is particularly valued for its ability to grow in dry shade, such as under trees or alongside shrubs, where its spreading habit creates a lush, carpet-like effect. It’s also resistant to pests like deer and rabbits, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners of all experience levels.
We supply Epimedium as high-quality bare root plants to gardeners across the UK, ensuring you receive healthy stock ready to establish in your garden. For best results, plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil and allow the plant to settle undisturbed for long-term success. Whether you’re filling a challenging corner or adding texture to a woodland border, Epimedium is a timeless choice that blends beauty and resilience.
