How to keep Epimedium Acuminatum.
Water
The bishop's hat plant thrives in humid and moist environments and needs weekly watering to stay healthy. It can adapt to different levels of soil moisture and is moderately drought-tolerant. Often grown outdoors to take advantage of natural rainfall, it is a resilient and attractive choice for ground cover in gardens.
Pruning
The bishop's hat is a shade-loving perennial known for its heart-shaped leaves and delicate, nodding flowers. To keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth, prune it from early to late spring. This helps remove dead foliage, promotes flower production, and improves air circulation. For best results, use sharp tools to make precise cuts just above the node.
