Epimedium x youngianum 'Jenny Wren' was found in the garden of John Marchacos of Berlin, CT. It is as charming as its name. Because it is deciduous, we remove the old foliage at the end of winter which allows us to see the leaves and flowers as they emerge. The new foliage although somewhat small is mottled in burgundy, a coloration that remains throughout the season. The relatively large flowers open on scapes that rise above the foliage. Their soft color suits the foliage perfectly. 'Jenny Wren' is a clumper and is easy to accommodate in any garden.
