Wider View of Epimedium Colony and Shredded Umbrella Plant - February 2024
Yesterday, I posted an update about the trio of Spine Tingler Epimedium that are planted near the large Catalpa tree in our backyard . Those three are planted amongst some of the other Epimedium (Amber Queen) that we have had planted for a number of years. At one time, I had five (5) Amber Queen Barrenwort/Epimedium - Here's a look in May 2021, when I planted two new ones to bring the total to five . By the time I planted the Spine Tinglers last May (2023), there were just four Amber Queens left. And that's what we're looking at today: Four Amber Queen Epimedium and Three Spine Tingler Epimedium. Below is a wider view of this colony showing all eight plants: I've amended some parts of the front and back beds with biosolids last Fall. Looking at this section, I'm thinking that these could use a slow-release feeding via some biosolid topdressing and/or mulch. I didn't manage to post about these, but I also added a pair of Shredded Umbrella Plants in among
