Epimedium Amber Queen


Dutchgrown Uk Spring
Epimedium Amber Queen, commonly known as Bishop's Hat and Barrenwort, is a standout perennial that brings delicate charm and hardy resilience to the often-overlooked shaded corners of your garden. With its elegant sprays of amber-yellow flowers that dance above a bed of heart-shaped, semi-evergreen foliage, this variety provides a perfect blend of beauty and functionality.. Reaching a height of approximately 20-30 cm, Amber Queen begins its show in mid to late spring, when arching stems carry clusters of intricate, star-like blooms. The flowers are an exquisite shade of warm amber, subtly tinged with orange, giving a glow-like effect in dappled light. Beneath the flowers, the foliage emerges with a fresh bronze flush, later maturing to a rich green, creating year-round visual interest.. What sets Amber Queen apart is its robust nature and versatility. This variety thrives in difficult conditions, such as dry shade under trees, while remaining resistant to deer, rabbits, and pests. Its slow-spreading habit makes it an excellent groundcover option for areas where other plants may struggle. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners.. We supply Epimedium Amber Queen as premium-quality bare root plants to British gardeners. Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil in a shaded or partially shaded spot.
