watering
Bishop's hat (Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee') should be watered regularly throughout the growing season. Provide enough water to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. This will help to keep the foliage from wilting or developing fungus. During the spring and summer, the soil should be watered weekly as needed. Water deeply and thoroughly throughout the root zone. In the winter months, reduce watering frequency as plant activity slows down. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings.
sunlight
Bishop's Hat (Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee') does best in partial sunlight. About 4 hours of direct sunlight per day is sufficient and should be in the morning or early afternoon. In the summer months, it should be protected from direct, hot sun and direct sunlight should be reduced to 2 hours in the morning or afternoon. In winter, it should receive full morning sun and afternoon shade.
pruning
Bishop's Hat (Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee') should be pruned each spring to improve vigor and maintain size. Pruning should be done when the new growth appears (typically March or April). Cut off any dead or discolored foliage. Also prune any stems that cross or have unusual growth patterns. If the Bishop's Hat is overgrown, reduce the overall size by up to 1-third observing a natural shape. Be sure to sterilize pruning tools before and after use.
