Description
Epimedium 'Sunny and Share' lives up to its cheerful name, brightening shady corners with its playful display of colour and texture. Its fresh green leaves, lightly flecked with bronze, provide interest from the very start of the season. Then, from late March, clouds of short flower spikes emerge, carrying a profusion of dainty yellow bells. Unlike many of its kin, Epimedium 'Sunny and Share' doesn’t stop after a quick spring fling—it keeps on blooming, often right through into midsummer. This prolonged performance makes it a particularly valuable addition to woodland borders or dappled planting schemes where continuity of flower can be harder to achieve.
What makes Epimedium 'Sunny and Share' so appealing is not just its stamina, but the way it ties the seasons together. Its neat mound of foliage, topped by sprays of glowing flowers, creates a soft, natural look that feels both delicate and resilient. Perfect for edging paths, underplanting shrubs, or weaving through ferns and hostas, Epimedium 'Sunny and Share' adds both movement and charm to partially shaded areas. It’s the kind of plant that works quietly in the background, then suddenly steals the show with its unexpected staying power—proving that sometimes the brightest treasures are found in the shade.

Useful information
-
Soak the Epimedium 'Sunny and Share' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Barrenwort" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
