Epimedium grandiflorum 'Dark Beauty' NEW 2023

(H. Epstein) Harold admired this plant for its velvety, deep chocolate-purple new spring foliage. It appeared as a seedling in his garden from an apparent cross between 'Yubae' and 'Silver Queen'. Its large flowers have beautiful dark rose inner-sepals and white petals/spurs flushed with rose. Small leaflets. 8" in bloom with second flush to 12". A strong grower. Plant in well-drained yet moist/fertile soil in dappled shade or morning sun. Once established may tolerate dry shady gardens.
