Shade Gardening: Tell me all about your Epimediums, 4 by Weerobin

I love epimediums and have many.
Unfortunately, my bunnies also like them, so bunny browse can be an aggravation.
I have some for floral display, some for foliage, some for groundcover.
For floral display, it's hard to beat Pink Champagne (pic 1).
For groundcover, e x versicolor cultivars are most reliable.
Most available is 'sulphureum', but I prefer 'Cherry Tart' (pic 2) whose flowers are prettier.
For bold foliage, e. wushanense (pic 3) is the best, but flowers are boring.
Epimedium grandiflorum higoense 'Bandit' has beautiful marginal variegation (pic 4).
Finally (pic 5) is another spreading variety, but torturously slow (e. brachyrrhizum).
There are of course many, many others - I could go on & on - I really love the genus.
