Epimedium acuminatum 'Night Mistress' is a 2004 Darrell Probst introduction from his 2000 wild collection near Nanchuan in China's Chongqing municipality. The 2' wide clumps of Epimedium 'Night Mistress' are adorned with long, arching flower spikes in early spring that are laden with large flowers whose inner sepals look like giant purple spiders with contrasting white exterior sepals on the back. This splendid selection was awarded with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. Epimedium acuminatum is best planted on a raised slope so you can enjoy the dangling flowers.
