Description
Epimedium 'Amber Queen', commonly known as Bishop's Hat or Barrenwort, is a standout perennial that brings delicate charm and hardy resilience to the often-overlooked shaded corners of the garden. With elegant sprays of amber-yellow flowers that gracefully hover above a bed of heart-shaped, semi-evergreen foliage, this variety offers a perfect blend of beauty and functionality.
Reaching a height of approximately 20–30 cm, Amber Queen begins its display in mid to late spring when arching stems carry clusters of intricate, star-like blooms. The flowers are a warm amber shade, subtly tinged with orange, creating a glowing effect when bathed in dappled light. Beneath the flowers, the foliage emerges with a fresh bronze flush before maturing to a rich green, providing year-round visual interest and texture.
What sets Amber Queen apart is its robust nature and versatility. This variety thrives in challenging conditions, such as dry shade under trees, while remaining resistant to deer, rabbits, and pests. Its slow-spreading habit makes it an excellent groundcover for areas where other plants may struggle. Moreover, it requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners.
Epimedium 'Amber Queen' is perfect for creating a shaded garden with texture, color, and charm. Its elegance and resilience make it a must-have addition to any garden in need of a low-maintenance yet visually striking perennial.
