Epimedium Domino (Barrenwort)

Very floriferous, Epimedium 'Domino' (Barrenwort) is an evergreen perennial with long, spiny, green leaves splashed with bronze. In mid to late spring, a profusion of delicate-looking, large flowers float on wiry stems well above the foliage. They are adorned with sepals and long-spurred white petals that deepen to contrasting purple-red centers. Vigorous, this Epimedium is reported to produce up to 100 flowers on a mature plant. In satisfactory conditions, it can have a second flush of flowers.
