E. davidii x E. grandiflorum 'Yubae'~ Good grower topped by large beautiful white spurred flowers with neon pink sepals; Stunning! Plant in partial sun to nearly full shade. Approx. 18” tall, Zones 4-9. Deciduous.

Decidedly a successful cross between E. davidii and E. 'Yubae' with wonderfully bicolored flowers in deep pink and yellow. Blooms earlier than most other Epimedium and reblooms well for us. Performs best in well drained soil with some summer moisture.
