Epimedium 'Orange Queen'




Epimedium 'Orange Queen'

Zone 4
Grow in full shade to full sun.
Grows 8 to 10 inches tall.

Deer resistant and very drought tolerant, this woodland ground cover is delicate and delightful spring bloomer. But don't let the little fairy flower fool you, this perennial is tough and long-lived. It will naturalize, even in dry shade, like under a Maple tree. 'Orange Queen' produces many peachy-orange flowers and the foliage has orangey-red tint, especially in the spring.
