rubrum SWEETHEART

Epimedium x rubrum `Sweetheart', dark rose-red, 14-16", April-May. Flowers bloom ABOVE and BELOW! the leaves! Large, shiny new leaves have a thin red rim in spring. Compared to Hosta! as an "eye catcher" for bold texture in the garden due it MASSIVE leaf size. You would even question it being an Epimedium with such big leaves. But it is! And easily in our top 5 of "Super Drought Tolerant Collection" of Epimediums. The first of Darrell Probst's Epimediums introductions, resulting from a 1991 cross between E.sempervirens `Candy Hearts' x E.alpinum. A 1997 Cobblewood introduction. Cc930007
