Epimedium x rubrum
Height x Spread: 30cm x 60cm
An older garden variety of Epimedium that is still really worthwhile growing, it is a great plant for shady borders and it's easy to grow. The pretty pink and white flowers are held above the fresh green spring foliage.
As it is evergreen, in the winter months the foliage is still a feature. In the spring it is best to cut off the winter foliage to allow the new flower and foliage shoots to emerge easily.
