Choosing woodland plants can be great fun, but sometimes frustrating when the plant you are seeking is not to be found in your local garden centres. For example Epimediums a fascinating genus of plants from the Berberidaceae family.
Epimedium Grandiflorum this species is deciduous and the new growth rises in early spring shortly after which, the yellow flowers emerge. Leaves are flushed reddish-bronze when young but colour up to a fresh green when mature. Flowers are borne in short racemes and can vary a little in colour.
Here is a specialist mail order nursery that I would recommend for woodland plants. http://www.edromnurseries.co.uk/home.asp
