Dave says: “They are a very useful plant. There aren’t many perennials that are evergreen and will grow in the shade.”

Dave breeds new varieties of epimediums and he’s pleased with his most recent addition he says: “[Sparkler] Is one of my introductions and it first flowered on November 5, so that’s why i called it Sparkler.”
