Epimedium ‘Rose Queen’

Description

Unlike the tougher evergreen varieties, Epimedium Rose Queen is a deciduous grandiflorum cultivar, completely dropping its leaves to vanish underground during the winter. When it wakes up, it pushes out a highly saturated, aggressive crimson-pink floral display over fresh green foliage tinged with copper.

Position the delicate roots very shallowly in a shaded border highly enriched with broken-down organic matter, keeping the soil reliably damp. Because it physically disappears for several months, you must clearly mark its location with a tag to prevent yourself from accidentally digging a spade straight through its dormant crown.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
