Epimedium pinnatum is a species of flowering plant in the barberry family Berberidaceae, native to northern Iran. It is a slowly-spreading evergreen perennial growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall and broad, with oval hairy leaves and bright yellow spurred flowers in late spring and early summer. [2]
The Latin specific epithet pinnatum means “with leaves growing on either side of the stalk”. [3]
The subspecies E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. [4] [5] It is best grown in moist, fertile soil in a sheltered, partially-shaded spot, and is suitable for underplanting shrubs and trees.
