Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphurea'

Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphurea' (Epimedium x versicolor)

As with so many of the epimediums, this builds up into a clump in shady conditions and tolerates it quite dry once established. This is 'Sulphurea' with pale yellow flowers

I really like this Andrew, reminds me of an Orchid...how tall is it please?

My plant is about two feet tall and slightly more across and was planted six years ago - it shouldn't get much bigger than this

Thanks for that....and would you be able to stake the flowers so that you can see them?

Not really because you'd lose the grace of the plant. I think the books recommend cutting away the old leaves so the flowers and new, emerging foliage are display better. As these are very obliging plants and can be tucked away in some pretty dank corners, I tend to just let them get on with things. But if you had it in a more prominent position, you could do that to see the flowers better
