Epimedium × 'Orange Queen' (Barrenwort 'Orange Queen') is a refined woodland perennial that brightens shaded plantings with sprays of warm orange flowers in spring and fresh, heart-shaped foliage. You will appreciate its clump-forming habit, graceful texture, and ability to perform where many perennials struggle in rooty, dry shade.

Plant it in part shade to shade, especially beneath open-canopied trees or along the north and east sides of buildings. It pairs beautifully with ferns, hellebores, hostas, and spring bulbs, and it is also a natural fit for edging paths, tucking into rock-and-root crevices, or weaving through mixed woodland borders.

At maturity, expect a tidy mound about 15-20 inches tall. In early spring, the foliage and flower stems emerge together for an especially polished look. Leave the clump to expand slowly, or divide in early spring or early fall if you want to increase your planting or share it with friends.

Give it well-drained soil enriched with leaf mold or compost, and water regularly its first season while roots establish. After that, moderate moisture and a light organic mulch help it look its best, particularly through summer heat. In late winter or very early spring, you can shear or trim tired leaves to showcase the fresh new growth and flower display.
