Epimedium 'Hugs and Kisses'
Epimedium 'Hugs and Kisses' is an enchanting Barrenwort that brings irresistible color and texture to those tricky, shady spots! It's a shade garden superhero selected for its large flowers and long, showy bloom time.
From mid-to-late spring, delicate, jester-hat-like flowers dance on tall, well-branched scapes. The blooms are a striking bicolor pink with light pink backs and deep, velvety mauve/burgundy centers, making this one of the reddest selections yet!
The charming foliage is the gift that keeps on giving. New spring leaves emerge with attractive burgundy flecking and unique, slightly wavy margins. As a semi-evergreen groundcover, it holds its beauty throughout most of the year.
Need a plant for dry shade? This is it! While slow to establish, once settled, this durable beauty is a landscape powerhouse. Better yet, Epimedium 'Hugs and Kisses' is reliably deer and rabbit resistant. No cutting back is required; simply tidy up any old foliage in the spring. PPAF
