Barrenwort 'Sandy Claws', Bishop's Hat 'Sandy Claws', Bishop's Mitre 'Sandy Claws', Fairy Wings 'Sandy Claws'
Epimedium wushanense ‘Sandy Claws’ (Barrenwort) is an evergreen perennial with a striking foliage of long, lance-shaped leaves adorned with dramatic spiny edges. They boast a bronze-pink cast when young before maturing to mid-green. In mid to late spring, sprays of tightly clustered, cream-colored flowers contrast beautifully with the brilliantly colored foliage. Prized for its easy-care, durability and critter resistance, this dappled-shade loving plant is capable of surviving in dry shade. Perfect for erosion control, in shady rock gardens or planted under mature trees, this beautiful evergreen epimedium will slowly spread by creeping rhizomes to form an attractive ground cover. This woodland perennial is perfect to combine with other shade staples like hostas and ferns.
