Epimedium ‘Amber Queen’

Shady areas, get ready to glow with the daintiest of amber-gold highlights—ethereal sweetheart Epimedium ‘Amber Queen’ is a real darling which offers glimmering wispy sprays of delicate nodding blooms to make the most of what could otherwise be a gloomy spot. But the flowers only tell half the story, while they’re a joy to look out for in the spring, for the rest of the year Epimedium ‘Amber Queen’ forms a luxuriant ground cover of green upward-facing heart-shaped leaves which emerge with a lovely ruby hue in spring!

Despite its dainty looks, this bonny beauty is actually quite a toughie, doing best in a shaded area and not at all perturbed by what winter may bring. Epimedium ‘Amber Queen’s favourite place to grow is in a woodland area with dappled shade and a rich, moist soil. Over the years it will spread to form a gorgeous green groundcover which acts as an effective weed suppressant!
