- Epimedium grandiflorum var. higoense ‘Bandit’ – delicate rice paper white flowers.
Banded leaves, the size of a pinky fingernail.
By the time this charming little epimedium starts to set seed, it’s about the height of my morning mug of tea.

Lovely to be able to admire it this way while taking tea! Is it always in a pot?

Yes, two years now in a pot and of a division raised from a friend’s pot grown specimen. Really this is a gorgeous little rockery plant, best admired when raised up etc.. Perhaps, other E.h. Cultivars like ‘Saturn’ are bigger and would stand out more in a regular border?

There are so many new introductions too, Tony Avent’s article is excellent https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-the-rhs/publications/magazines/the-plantsman/2010-issues/march/an-overview-of-epimedium.pdf

Oh, thank you Christina. It was a grey but peaceful hour ahead of the roofers turning up and I was keen to enjoy the quiet moment beforehand.
