watering

Bishop's hat (Epimedium 'Yubae') needs regular watering, but should not be kept too wet. Water when the top 1-2” of the soil has become dry. During the hot months of summer you may want to water your plant weekly, and watering even more often in the bright and hot days. During cooler spring and autumn months, watering every 2 weeks should be sufficient. During the winter, the plant only needs to be watered once a month.

sunlight

Bishop's hat (Epimedium 'Yubae') prefers partial to full shade, though plants grown in more shade may require more water. In full sun, Bishop's hat flowers best with morning sun and afternoon shade. In partial sun, up to 4 hours a day is ideal. With too much direct sunlight, the leaves can become scorched. In low-light areas, more water than average may be necessary to ensure proper hydration.

pruning

Bishop's hat (Epimedium 'Yubae') should be pruned in early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning of this plant should be light, removing only dead or damaged stems. If it has grown leggy, you can cut it back lightly, but avoid cutting more than 1-third of the plant’s total height. After each pruning session, add a layer of mulch to protect the roots and add nutrition to the soil.
