Our thanks go to Diana Reeck from Collector's Nursery in Battle Ground, WA, for her selection Epimedium x yougianum 'Star Cluster.' Diana made this selection with the help of her friends Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds Nursery and Vanca Lumsden of Albe Rustic Furniture. Together they reviewed Diana's trial beds of seedling epimediums and this was the plant they all three returned to as their favorite. The name 'Star Cluster' suggests white flowers on a dark background. This is true. What the name doesn't describe is the beauty of the white flowers with their extra-long spurs or the richness of the dark chocolate spring foliage. The leaves green up as the spring progresses. (Thanks to Diana Reeck for use of her photo.)
