In mid to late spring, a profusion of large flowers dance on wiry stems well above the mottled foliage. They are adorned with rose-pink sepals and long-spurred deep strawberry-pink petals with pale yellow tips. Vigorous, this Epimedium will repeat flower if grown in satisfactory conditions.

- Performs best in part shade to full shade in average, acidic, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Humus-rich, fertile, moist soils in part shade are preferred. Drought tolerant once established. Protect from cold, dry winds.
- Virtually pest and disease free. Rabbit and deer tolerant.
- Easy to grow, this plant is a welcomed addition to beds and borders, cottage gardens, shade gardens. Excellent as a groundcover.
- Propagate by division in fall or after flowering.
- Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring for the best display of new foliage and flowers.
