I have only one varietiy in my SW Missouri garden, epimedium x rubrum, a 60 yr old clump that I have taken bits off of to transplant in other spots. It's still thriving after all those years! I hope to add more varieties in the near future as I find them.Sandyhttp://chaosinature.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-64305237233085711532010-05-11T05:31:51.424-03:002010-05-11T05:31:51.424-03:00Oh!

I do water it to encourage it to start spreading, and it is getting going a little now). Added Rubrum this year under a maple. As you say, the foliage is subtle but just wonderful.
