Epimedium x rubrum is a reliable groundcover suited to dry shade, thriving beneath trees or among shrubs. Delicate rose pink flowers appear in spring, held on fine wiry stems above elegant heart-shaped foliage.

New growth emerges bronze red, softening to green before developing rich coral red tones in autumn. Forms a dense spreading mat that helps suppress weeds. Prefers well drained soil and a sheltered position. Hardy.
