| Epimedium 'Lilac Cascade' |
Have Acquisition Year 2022 |
***2001 Cobblewood Introduction*** New spring foliage first emerges in beautiful shades of rose and pink. During bloom, the leaflets turn almost solid green with a purplish-red border, to form a perfect cascading mound of foliage. Clusters of rich violet-lavender flowers peek out from between the leaves. Later, a second flush of vibrant raspberry-pink foliage emerges, remaining colorful for several weeks. 6-8" in bloom, second flush to 12-14". From Darrell's cross between E. sempervirens 'Candy Hearts' x E. grandiflorum 'Yubae'. Foliage is like the former - semi-evergreen, medium-sized round hearts. Drought tolerant. |
