watering
Bishop's hat (Epimedium pubigerum) thrives when kept moderately moist. It is best to water regularly, about every 7-10 days, depending on the soil characteristics and weather conditions. During the summer months, water more frequently to ensure the soil remains moist. In the winter, reduce the frequency of watering. It is best to avoid over-watering as this can lead to root rot. It is also important to make sure that the soil drains well. If you notice that the soil is waterlogged or wet, allow it to dry out before watering again.
sunlight
Bishop's hat (Epimedium pubigerum) does best in dappled shade or partial sun. It prefers morning sun with some shade in the afternoon. It is an herbaceous, deciduous plant that grows well in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-9. A minimum of 4 hours of sunshine per day is ideal for optimum growth. Too much sun will cause the foliage to yellow and wilt. Too little sun can lead to weak, spindly growth and poor flowering.
pruning
Bishop's Hat (Epimedium pubigerum) should be pruned lightly in the early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should include light shearing of plants, removing any dead, broken, or damaged stems. You should also cut away any stems that may be growing outside of the shape or size desired for your Bishop's Hat. Avoid pruning more than about 1 third of the plant in any given year as this can encourage excessive new growth that may quickly become unmanageable.
