I planted it in a very foolish spot so it is smack in the way of some new veggie beds I'd like to put in. It's got at least an 8" diameter on the trunk though, so I doubt it will appreciate attempts at moving it. I do really love the blooms though.Elizahttp://www.appalachianfeet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-61199374026216580332010-11-30T05:41:53.477-04:002010-11-30T05:41:53.477-04:00Hi Jodi, your garden's a delight!

Although it is difficult to pick out a favourite, the Epimediums I have always found to be overlooked and yet are such stalwarts of the garden and can accommodate a wide variety of conditions. I should certainly never wish to be without them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-57994147665660586362010-11-29T15:50:18.546-04:002010-11-29T15:50:18.546-04:00You have some interesting plants there.

For its sheer propensity to do well in dry shade, one would think it would be on the tip of everyone's tongue, but sadly no. My dilemma is that they tend to get pricier as new 'resistance is futile Teza' cultivars[speaking for myself only]are made available.<br /><br />Kirengeshoma is Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-5723561236351280282010-11-28T19:39:28.386-04:002010-11-28T19:39:28.386-04:00So many pretties.
