Abstract: A new and distinct Hydrangea serrata plant is provided that was discovered as a newly found seedling in a cultivated area. Attractive large blue to mauve lacecap flowers are formed that tend to be more blue when grown in acidic soils and more mauve when grown in neutral to basic soils. Strong sturdy branches are formed. Delicate yellow-green foliage is displayed. The plant is more floriferous than the ‘Blue Billow’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States) and the foliage is smaller than that of such comparative cultivar. Winter hardiness to U.S.D.A. Zone No. 6b has been observed. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape. The cut flowers also can be included in cut flower arrangements.

Abstract: A new Epimedium hybrida cultivar is provided that displays a low-growing clumping growth habit. The new cultivar flowers in April and May and forms attractive white blossoms that commonly are borne above the foliage. The plant is well suited for providing distinctive ornamentation when grown in containers, in rock gardens, or as a ground cover. Attractive light green deciduous leaflets are formed. The plant grows well in full sun to moderate shade. During observations to date the new variety has been found to be readily amenable to asexual propagation by division.

Abstract: A new variety of Epimedium grandiflorum is provided that is well suited for growing as a distinctive ground cover. The new variety flowers in May and forms attractive deep purple blossoms with white spurs that commonly are borne above the foliage. The young foliage is violet-colored and the mature foliage is olive green with maroon margins. During observations to date the new variety has been found to be more amenable to expeditious asexual propagation by division than other commonly grown varieties of the species. The available choices in ornamental ground covers are expanded.
