Epimedium sempervirens 'Candy Hearts'
This
great new cultivar is hardly available in Europe so far.
Grandiose colored foliage in spring.
Flowers pale pink. (Actually the flowers on my plants are pretty
white, maybe I got 'Cherry Hearts' instead? We will see..)
Height 25 cm.
Semi-evergreen.
By the way, the leaves
look similar to those of E. 'Akakage',
which spreads much faster.
This photo shows very young plants of E. sempervirens 'Candy
Hearts' (on the left) and E.
'Akakage' (on the right).
Epimedium sempervirens 'Creamsickle'

Epimedium simplicifolium CC 0301207
Another
rare and beautiful species from Guizhou Province, China.
It has, as the name implies, simple (undevided) leaves (unlike most

The leaves grow up to 10 cm wide and 20 cm long.
The large flowers are similar to those of
Growing slowly.
Evergreen.
Height 50 cm.
This species is now treated as a synonym of E. acuminatum.
Epimedium simplicifolium T.S. Ying was described by Ying (1975), only separating it from E. acuminatum in having unifoliolate, sericeous leaves. Upon extensive specimen examination, however, Zhang et al. (2011) found that the diagnostic characters of E. simplicifolium were within the range of morphological variations of E. acuminatum and placed E. simplicifolium into synonymy.

Epimedium sutchuenense CC 990394
Epimedium species from China,
Sichuan Province.

origin (as in E. x omeiense, E. wushanense, etc.).
First collected by Paul Guillaume Farges in 1893.
Introduced into horticulture by Darrell Probst.
The long, thin rhizomes of this species are spreading quickly,
making this plant a very good low growing groundcover.
