Epimedium (hybrid cvs.)
Hybrid barrenwort (Epimedium X versicolor hybrid cvs.) is a hybrid of several species and a popular ornamental groundcover. It is known for its small, heart-shaped leaves and delicate sprays of long-lasting, cup-shaped flowers in a variety of colors. Hardy and easy to care for, hybrid barrenwort thrives in shady locations and can tolerate a range of soil types. It reaches heights of 4 to 6 inches and will spread across a 24-inch area after a few years. This perennial is a great choice for woody areas, dry shade gardens, and borders.

watering
Hybrid barrenwort plants should be watered regularly and thoroughly during their active growing period in late spring and summer. When watering your barrenwort plant, ensure the entire soil mass is evenly moistened. Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Do not overwater, as this can cause root rot. During the cooler fall and winter months, reduce watering and keep the soil barely moist.
sunlight
Hybrid barrenwort (Epimedium (hybrid cvs.)) does best in partial shade or dappled sunlight, meaning neither full shade nor full sunlight. Generally, 4-6 hours of bright indirect sunlight per day is ideal. During hot seasons, it's best if the plant receives morning sun and afternoon shade, or sunny indirect light for the entire day. It's also important to provide proper air circulation to avoid fungal issues.
pruning
Hybrid barrenwort (Epimedium hybrid cvs.) can be lightly pruned after flowering to maintain its shape and to encourage repeat blooming. Pruning should be done in early spring, right before the new growth begins and should remove dead and diseased branches. Avoid pruning off any leaves or buds. Pruning too heavily will reduce blooming. If the stem of the plant has become too tall, it can be cut back to just above the soil level. This will promote branching and result in a fuller and bushier plant.
