Gorgeous photos… my epimedium looks completely pathetic in comparison to yours!
About those drumstick primulas. We have some of those at the garden center where I work, but they always seem to be so susceptible to powdery mildew. Is this mostly just in the nursery trade, or does that also happen in the garden?
My epimediums have taken time to get going. I have one patch that’s really strong in dry shade, and several others that need a couple more years to start looking like more than just a weak little clump.
I haven’t noticed any disease on this one — a store bought plant. It’s on the north side of the house, far enough out that it gets a lot of sun. And it’s got the closest thing I’ve got to ‘consistently moist, well-drained soil’ on the place.
