Epimedium: why is it so under-rated?

There are some garden plants that simply everyone has in their garden... what you might call the "usual suspects" which may sound a bit disparaging, but actually it's a compliment: it means they thrive in that particular area, are easy to grow, don't suffer from excessive pests and diseases, and are pleasing to the eye.

Then there are some which are quite rare, but usually for good reason, ie they're difficult to grow, or they're not fully hardy  (which means they need to be cossetted over the winter, which is a bit of a faff, and dispiriting if “one” accidentally forgets, and the plant in question expires in the frost...), or they're slow-growing....
