They do look irresistibly similar and yet different in the catalog! I too have never ordered, but still, circling enough as -must-get's. Still, the best way is to see them in person, in a garden after they have matured. They, the differences and nuances are very noticeable.

Ha – oh Elaine, just try typing in Epimedium – I am certain that spell-check kept creeping in and changing my copy! (Not that I can spell that good, anyway!).

But I love that you have featured Karen's nursery. I have grown many of the more common epimediums for years and they have spread nicely and never waver in their delights. The six new ones I planted in the fall, procured from Karen, are doing very nicely in their first year of growth here. And I don't mind at all that they take their time to develop into a large spread. I appreciate that they're getting their underground parts well established for future appreciation above ground. Then they will always be there, probably long after I am gone!

thank you so much for this post and pix. they are certain to stimulate interest in this unaccountably overlooked genus and the fantastical offerings of garden vision.
garden vision has long been on my horticultural destination map, but escape velocity is hard to achieve! i used to pore over the print catalogue, completely unable to make a choice….

all best,

We have one in our garden, I don't know what it's called. The foliage is beautiful but there are few flowers and they are small. Maybe I should try to grow another variety.
