Epimedium pauciflorum NEW 2023

Native to the parched region of western Sichuan Province in China, this species is drought-tolerant. The attractive, small, rounded, spiny-edged SEMI-EVERGREEN leaflets sometimes exhibit splashes of reddish-brown in spring. Produces 2-4 medium-sized, flowers of the palest lavender-pink on sporadic flower stems, hence the species name pauci=few florum=flowers. Spreads by thin 8-12" rhizomes. Best used as a very low (4-6") groundcover.
