How to prune orange queen epimedium

Late winter to early spring, before new growth and flowers emerge (February–March). Shear all old foliage to just above ground level. Clear away removed material so emerging buds receive light and air. No deadheading is required after flowering.

Once a year. Orange Queen Epimedium requires one annual prune: cut all old semi-evergreen leaves to the ground in late winter before orange-copper flowers emerge. The foliage persists through winter and must be removed to expose blooms and allow vigorous new growth. No further pruning is needed through the rest of the growing season.
