| Flower Color | Pink |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Foliage Fall Color | Yellow |
| Companion Plants | Sedge (Carex); Hosta (Hosta); Astilbe (Astilbe); Coral Bells (Heuchera hybrids); Soloman's Seal (Polygonatum); Snakeroot (Actaea simplex) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in humus-rich, neutral to acidic, well-drained soils. Best in shade or dappled morning sun with afternoon shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, prefers regular water, but tolerates drier conditions in well-shaded areas. Divide every 2 to 3 years in early spring. |
| History | This plant is grouped into the barberry family, Berberidaceae. The genus was classified by Linnaeus who named it from an old Greek title to the plant used in Dioscorides's medical texts. Plants in this group have also been classified by French botanist Joseph Decasine, 1809-1822, under Aceranthus which has since been dropped from the references altogether. Epimedium contains about 21 species of herbaceous plants native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. This is the most widely cultivated species which is native to a large range spanning Japan, Manchuria and Korea. This plant's rose coloring suggests it is likely a hybrid of E. grandiflorum and one or more of the following species, E. alpinum, E. pinnatum, or E. diphyllum |
