Epimedium grandiflorum 'Tama-No-Genpei' - LARGE-FLOWERED BARRENWORT 'TAMA-NO-GENPEI' ('TAMANOGENPEI')
Smaller clumping Epimedium with darker spring foliage in the spring and bicolor lavender-pink + white flowers with longer spurs. Flowers appear right above the leaves and flowering stems prolong some later on.
For half shade and shade garden.
Bloom Time: April to May
Size: 12-16" tall and 12-18" wide
USDA Zones: 4/5 to 8/9
Heat Zones: 5 to 8
Culture: Best in half shade, light shade, dappled shade, and other partially shaded locations. Prefers medium, medium-dry, to medium-moist conditions and adapts to a range of soils, including clay-loam, loam, and rocky ground. Best performance is in neutral to slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter such as decaying leaves, compost, or humus. In hotter climates, it benefits from additional shade.
Moisture Needs: Medium, medium-dry, to medium-moist. Established plants are drought tolerant, but are a bit more sensitive than the other selections.
Origin: Japan. The species is native to woodlands in Japan, southern Manchuria, and northern Korea.
Deer Resistant: Yes
Rabbit Resistant: Yes
Attracts Butterflies/Pollinators: Very little
Attracts Hummingbirds: No
Plant Combinations: Excellent for woodland gardens, part-shade borders, and shaded rock garden edges. Combines beautifully with Aquilegia, Anemone hupehensis, Asarum, Astrantia, Brunnera, Bergenia, Dicentra, Digitalis, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium odoratum, Geum, Heucherella, Heuchera, Hosta, Podophyllum, Phlox carolina hybrids, Phlox divaricata, Polemonium, Polygonatum, Primula, Persicaria amplexicaulis, Pulmonaria, Stylophorum, Tradescantia, Tiarella, Uvularia, and Viola.
It also pairs well with grasses such as Carex, Chasmanthium, and Hakonechloa, as well as ferns and spring ephemerals such as Mertensia, Sanguinaria, and Trillium.
