An Epimedium Resource Guide

As a companion to Richie Steffen’s article on epimediums in the April 2008 issue of Pacific Horticulture, we offer the following resource guide to sources of plants and further information about these “queens of the woodland garden.”

Nursery Sources

The following nurseries stock a good selection of species and/or hybrids of epimediums. Most of the older ground-covering selections derived from Mediterranean species are relatively easy to locate; the newer species and selections from Asia may take a little more effort, but will be worth the trouble.
