Product Details
An unusual member of Berberidaceae with leaves on wiry stems rising from rhizomes which are quite scaly. These spread slowly in the soil similar to some of the slower Epimediums. Leaves are fresh green and are trifoliate, the middle leaf being slightly larger than the other two and the whole rising to around 12 inches from soil level. Flowers are feintly scented and in a form of a spike with numerous smaller flowers lasting for several weeks in early summer.
